EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Vernal Equinox, Plate 2 from Globi coelestis in tabulas planas redacti descriptio" takes us back to the 17th century and offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the world of celestial cartography. Created by Ignace-Gaston Pardies and published in 1674, this intricate piece showcases his profound knowledge of astrology and astronomy. The print features an array of constellations beautifully illustrated against a backdrop of stars. From Andromeda to Aquarius, Aries to Cetus, each constellation is meticulously depicted with vibrant colours that bring them to life. The zodiac signs are also represented here, including Pisces Notius (the fish), Ram (Aries), and even the mythical winged horse Pegasus.
