EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving from 1674, titled "Winter Solstice, Plate 5 from Globi coelestis in tabulas planas redacti descriptio" is a captivating piece of celestial cartography. Created by Ignace-Gaston Pardies, this intricate artwork showcases the wonders of astrology and astronomy during the 17th century. In this stunning illustration, we are transported to a world where constellations come alive. The archer Sagittarius draws his bow and arrow against the backdrop of a star-studded sky. Surrounding him are various other zodiac signs such as Aquila, Capricornus (the goat), Libra (the scales), and Scorpius (the scorpion). Delphinus the dolphin gracefully swims nearby while Ophiuchus wrestles with Serpens the serpent. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element of this celestial map. From the beautifully coloured stars that dot the night sky to the precise positioning along the equator and tropics, it is clear that Pardies was not only an artist but also a skilled astronomer. This historic print offers us a glimpse into how people in the past understood and interpreted our vast universe. It serves as a reminder of humanity's enduring fascination with both science and art throughout history. As part of Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, this print holds immense historical value for those interested in exploring our ancient fascination with astrology and astronomy. Its
