EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from 1674, titled "South Pole, Plate 6 from Globi coelestis in tabulas planas redacti descriptio" takes us on a celestial journey through the Southern Hemisphere. Created by Ignace-Gaston Pardies, this exquisite piece of historical cartography showcases the wonders of astrology and astronomy. The intricately detailed illustration features a mesmerizing array of constellations that adorn the night sky. From Centaurus to Ara, Chamaeleon to Lupus, each constellation is meticulously depicted with vibrant colours that bring them to life. The Milky Way stretches across the print like a cosmic river connecting these celestial marvels. Amidst this celestial tapestry are various mythical creatures and animals. A majestic bird of paradise soars gracefully alongside a toucan while an elegant peacock displays its resplendent feathers nearby. A bee flits among the stars as if collecting stardust itself. The South Pole takes center stage in this depiction, surrounded by signs of the zodiac and other heavenly bodies such as Apis and Hydrus. The Cruzero cross marks its presence against a backdrop of distant galaxies. This historical gem offers not only an insight into early astronomical knowledge but also serves as a testament to human curiosity about our place within the cosmos. It invites us to explore beyond our earthly boundaries and contemplate the vastness and beauty that lies above us in the night sky.
