This hand-coloured engraving, titled "The Constellations (Plate IV) Auriga, Camelopaardalis, Telescopium Herschelli" is a true gem from the 19th century. Created by Alexander Jamieson and published in London in 1822 as part of his renowned work "A Celestial Atlas" this astrological masterpiece takes us on a celestial journey. Intricately detailed and beautifully coloured, the print showcases three constellations: Auriga, Camelopaardalis, and Telescopium Herschelli. Each constellation comes alive with its own unique charm and significance within the zodiacal realm. Auriga, known as "The Charioteer" stands out prominently at the center of the composition.

Camelopaardalis gracefully stretches across the upper part of the print like a majestic creature from mythology. Its name translates to "the cameleopard" due to its resemblance to both camels and leopards—an enchanting blend of two magnificent creatures. Telescopium Herschelli pays tribute to Sir William Herschel's groundbreaking discoveries using his telescope. This constellation symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge through scientific exploration. Together, these constellations form an awe-inspiring map that invites us to marvel at our place in the vast cosmos. A testament to
