7339150 Psalterium Georgii, Fluvius Eridanus, Cetus, Officina Sculptories, Fornax Chemica and Machina Electrica, c.1825 (card, paper, tissue ) by Hall, Sydney (fl.1826); 20.3x14 cm; National Maritime Museum, London, UK; (add.info.: Creator: Sidney Hall
Plate 28. A set of thirty-two constellation cards entitled Urania's Mirror, with a chart of the heavens for the latitude of London (by Jehoshaphat Aspin), all contained within a box depicting Urania, the personification of Astronomy. They were sold as an attractive but educational item, presumably to be used within a domestic setting and reflecting the rising taste for improving pastimes in the later 18th and early 19th century. The set was often accompanied by a copy of Aspin's Familiar Treatise on Astronomy (1825), written especially for the purpose.
The cards are hand coloured and show the stars and traditional imagery for the major constellations. The cards give compass directions, the names of the constellations and the most important stars. They feature eighty constellations and two sub-constellations, some of which are no longer recognised. The artwork and choice of constellations is inspired by Alexander Jamieson's Celestial Atlas (1822).); © National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate beauty of Psalterium Georgii, Fluvius Eridanus, Cetus, Officina Sculptories, Fornax Chemica and Machina Electrica from around 1825. Created by Sidney Hall as part of a set of thirty-two constellation cards known as 'Urania's Mirror', this piece is a true masterpiece of astronomical art.
Each card in the set depicts a different constellation with hand-colored illustrations and detailed information about the stars and imagery associated with each one. The box containing the cards features Urania, the personification of Astronomy, adding an element of elegance to this educational tool.
These constellation cards were not only visually appealing but also served as a valuable learning resource for those interested in astronomy. Sold alongside Aspin's 'Familiar Treatise on Astronomy', they provided a comprehensive guide to navigating the night sky for amateur astronomers and enthusiasts alike.
Inspired by Alexander Jamieson's 'Celestial Atlas', these cards showcase both well-known constellations and some that are no longer recognized today. The attention to detail and artistic skill displayed in this work make it a truly remarkable piece that continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation.
