EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing the Astronomical Observatory at Cambridge, Massachusetts. In this historic moment captured by Jules Verne in his renowned novel "De la Terre a la Lune" we witness the observatory's Director observing an extraordinary event - the launch of the space craft Columbiad. Perched on the majestic Rocky Mountains, this astronomical observatory provided a perfect vantage point for scientific exploration and discovery. The Director eagerly gazes through the observatory's reflecting telescope, marveling at mankind's audacious flight into outer space. The wood engraving technique used to reproduce this image adds a touch of vintage charm and nostalgia. It transports us back to a time when science fiction literature was pushing boundaries and igniting our imagination with tales of space travel. Jules Verne, a French author known for his visionary works, captures both our fascination with astronomy and our thirst for knowledge about what lies beyond Earth's atmosphere. This image serves as a reminder that even in 1865, scientists were already dreaming big and exploring possibilities that would shape future generations' understanding of space. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene frozen in time, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and its unyielding desire to push boundaries beyond what was once thought possible.
