This print showcases a historical masterpiece, the Ursa Major constellation from the celestial atlas "Sozviezdiia Predstavlennyia na XXX Tablitsakh" by Kornelius Reissig. Created in 1829, this remarkable piece of Russian star cartography was the earliest of its kind in Russia and drew inspiration from earlier works by Bode and Flamsteed. Against a striking black background, this European illustration transports us back to the 19th century, offering an enchanting glimpse into astronomical exploration during that era. The intricate gold leaf accents add a touch of elegance to the artwork while highlighting the brilliance of each star within Ursa Major. Labelled with Cyrillic characters and depicted through mythological figures and animals, this map provides both an educational tool for astronomers and a visual feast for art enthusiasts. The meticulously designed grid and diagram serve as coordinates guiding our eyes through this cosmic wonderland.
