Plate 5 takes us on a captivating journey through time and space, offering glimpses into various aspects of history and art. It begins with the Copernican worldview in 1708, challenging traditional beliefs and opening up new horizons of understanding our place in the universe. Moving forward to 1811, we encounter nebulae drawn by William Herschel. His meticulous observations shed light on the celestial wonders that adorn our night sky, reminding us of the vastness and beauty of the cosmos. Intriguingly, it also presents an engraving from Vatican and St Peter's Basilica in 1882. This depiction showcases the main facade of this iconic structure along with a section of its portico onto square. The work by Paul Marie Letarouilly allows us to appreciate the grandeur and architectural mastery behind one of Christianity's most revered sites. Continuing our exploration, we come across Horologia Ferrea, plate 5 from Nova Reperta. Engraved by Philip Galle during an unknown period but undoubtedly significant moment in history, this artwork captures an invention that revolutionized timekeeping. Shifting focus towards St Peter's Square, another engraving by Letarouilly reveals a perspective view of its interior colonnade. Additionally featured is a detailed coat of arms atop the entrance portico – symbols representing power and authority within this sacred space. As we delve deeper into design influences for St Peter's Basilica, attributed to Antonio da Sangallo (1) and Giuliano da Sangallo (2-4), it offers insights into different concepts proposed for its construction. These designs showcase both creativity and ingenuity as architects sought to create a monument befitting religious significance. The artistic realm finds representation too; Feasting in the Saloon invites us to indulge in theatrical pleasures while The Shamit Reel transports us back to John Grant's Penny Wedding through etching, aquatint, and drypoint techniques.
