EDITORS COMMENTS
. This coloured engraving, titled "The Compleat Orrery" takes us back to London in 1780, where a remarkable scientific instrument was brought to life. The image showcases an intricate model that revolutionized our understanding of the cosmos. Crafted by an unknown English School artist from the 18th century, this orrery is a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity. It offers a mesmerizing depiction of our solar system's celestial bodies and their orbits around the sun. With its delicate rings, dials, and mechanical precision, it presents a visual feast for both astronomers and enthusiasts alike. As described by S. Dunn, this extraordinary contraption served as more than just an astronomical tool; it was also a work of art. Its finely detailed engravings depict not only the planets but also include informative text that adds depth to our knowledge of cosmology. Intriguingly, this print hails from the private collection known as The Stapleton Collection – a treasure trove of historical artifacts preserved through time. Now made available for public appreciation thanks to Bridgeman Images' efforts in digitization and preservation. "The Compleat Orrery" invites us on a journey through space and time while reminding us of humanity's ceaseless quest for knowledge about our place in the universe.
