Framed Print of Aries and Musca Borealis constellations
Aries and Musca Borealis constellations. Illustrated card from a 19th century astronomical teaching aid called Uranias Mirror, after the Greek muse of astronomy. There are 32 cards in total. The cards are pierced with holes corresponding to the brightest stars so the pattern of the constellations can be seen when held up to the light. The cards were published in London, England, and it is thought they date from around 1825. This card shows the constellations Aries (the ram), and Musca Borealis (the northern fly, formerly Vespa the wasp; obsolete). For all 32 cards, see V700/172-203.
