EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "SYSTEME SOLAIRE (no. 1)" takes us back to the year 1839 in Paris, France. Created by the talented Auguste-Henri Dufour, a renowned French astronomer and engraver, this piece is part of his remarkable work called "Tableaux du Systeme Planetaire". The image showcases a stunning illustration of our solar system, beautifully engraved by Dufour himself after Sigismond Visconti's original artwork. Every celestial body within our cosmic neighborhood finds its place on this intricate composition. From the majestic Sun at the center radiating warmth and light to each planet orbiting around it - Mercury, Venus, Earth with its mesmerizing Moon, Mars with its reddish hue, Jupiter with its grandeur and Juno as its companion moon, Saturn adorned with elegant rings along with Titan and Iapetus moons. Furthermore, we can also spot Uranus shining brightly alongside Ceres and Vesta asteroids gracefully floating through space. The comet streaking across the sky adds an element of mystery to this already awe-inspiring scene. This historical gem from the Historica Graphica Collection allows us to marvel at humanity's understanding of our place in the universe during that era. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in unraveling the secrets of outer space while appreciating the artistic talent that brought such knowledge into visual form.
