EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "The Constellations (Plate IX) Olphiuchus, or Serpentarius, and Serpens" takes us on a celestial journey back to 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 is a true testament to the beauty of astronomy. Intricately detailed, the illustration showcases Olphiuchus, also known as Serpentarius, alongside the constellation of Serpens. The artist's skillful use of colour brings these zodiacal figures to life against a backdrop filled with stars that seem to twinkle with cosmic energy. As we gaze upon this historical map of the heavens, we are reminded of humanity's enduring fascination with astrology. From ancient times until now, people have looked up at the night sky seeking guidance and meaning from its constellations. This print serves as a visual representation of our timeless connection to the cosmos. Part artistry and part scientific documentation, this hand-coloured engraving stands as an important piece within the Historica Graphica Collection. It captures both Hippolytus' astrological knowledge and Jamieson's artistic talent in one remarkable image. Let this enchanting print transport you into a world where mythological serpents intertwine with astronomical wonders—a reminder that even amidst vastness and uncertainty, there is always beauty waiting to be discovered among the stars
