EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 19th-century astronomical teaching aid called Uranias Mirror, depicting the Andromeda constellation. Illustrated with intricate detail and artistic finesse, this card from the set pays homage to Greek mythology and historical figures. The Andromeda constellation represents the chained maiden from ancient Greek lore, while Gloria Frederici symbolizes the Glory of Frederick, created in honor of Frederick the Great of Prussia in 1787 (now obsolete).

The image transports us back to an era when astronomy was taught through beautifully crafted illustrations like these. It serves as a testament to human curiosity about our place in the universe throughout history. This educational tool provided students with a visual representation of celestial bodies and their mythological significance. The artistry displayed on this print is truly remarkable; every line and curve tells a story that intertwines science, history, and culture.
