EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "The Constellations (Plate II) Ursa Minor, Cassiopeia, Tarandus, Cepheus, Draco" is a true masterpiece that takes us on a celestial journey. Created by Alexander Jamieson and published in London in 1822 as part of his renowned Celestial Atlas, this print showcases the beauty and intricacy of the night sky. In this stunning artwork, we are presented with a meticulously detailed astronomical chart depicting various constellations. Ursa Minor (the Little Bear), Cassiopeia, Tarandus (a reindeer constellation), Cepheus, and Draco (the Dragon) grace the composition with their mythical presence. Each constellation is carefully illustrated to showcase its unique shape and position among the stars. As we delve into this mesmerizing star chart, our imagination begins to wander through ancient tales and astrological wonders. The zodiacal influence becomes apparent as we encounter references to Minerva, Hesperides, Carcas, Calista, Cynosura - all intertwined within this celestial map. Jamieson's artistry truly shines through in every stroke of his engraving technique. The attention to detail and vibrant colours bring life to these distant cosmic formations. This print not only serves as an educational tool for astronomers but also stands as a testament to humanity's fascination with the mysteries of the universe throughout history.
