1874 Transit of Venus chart, ingress 1
1874 Transit of Venus chart, ingress 1 (exterior contact). This transit took place on 8-9 December 1874. Such transits (where Venus passes across the Sun as seen from the Earth) are rare, occurring in pairs over 100 years apart. The 19th-century transits (1874 and 1882) saw expeditions to make observations on interior and exterior contact for both ingress (first contact) and egress (last contact). Locations included New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, Hawaii, New Caledonia, Kerguelen, Mauritius, India, and the Dutch East Indies. The results helped establish the distances of Venus and the Sun, and hence the size of the solar system.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the 1874 Transit of Venus chart, specifically highlighting the ingress 1 or exterior contact. The rare occurrence of this transit took place on 8-9 December 1874 and involved Venus passing across the Sun as seen from Earth. Such transits only happen in pairs over a century apart. During the 19th century, expeditions were organized to various locations around the world including New Zealand, Australia, Japan, China, Hawaii, New Caledonia, Kerguelen, Mauritius, India, and the Dutch East Indies. These expeditions aimed to observe both interior and exterior contacts for both ingress (first contact) and egress (last contact). By meticulously recording these observations on this chart and others like it during subsequent transits such as in 1882; scientists were able to establish crucial information about distances between Venus and the Sun. Consequently, they gained valuable insights into determining the size of our solar system. The artwork depicted here is an illustration that represents a circular projection of Earth with cutouts showing different regions where these significant observations occurred. This historical piece not only serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge but also highlights how international collaboration played a pivotal role in advancing astronomical understanding during that era.
