This fascinating print from Mary Evans Picture Library showcases a cross-section of the Peking Observatory, providing a glimpse into the world of historical astronomy. The image captures an array of observational equipment, including globes and quadrants, that were used by astronomers in 1747 to study the stars and planets.
The observatory itself is steeped in history, dating back centuries as one of the oldest observatories in China. Its significance lies not only in its age but also in its contributions to scientific knowledge during a time when astronomy was still a burgeoning field.
As we gaze upon this intricate display of instruments, we are transported back to a time when stargazing was not just a hobby but a serious pursuit of understanding the universe. The precision and craftsmanship evident in each piece speak to the dedication and expertise of those who worked within these walls.
