EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of scientific exploration. The image showcases various scientific objects meticulously engraved in an encyclopaedia, serving as a testament to the thirst for knowledge that defined this era.

Adjacent to it is an arch, representing architectural ingenuity and structural stability. On the top right side sits an armillary sphere, a complex astronomical instrument used for celestial observations. Further down the plate are barometers - instruments crucial for measuring atmospheric pressure - emphasizing mankind's growing understanding of weather patterns during this period. Lastly, prominently displayed is an astrolabe; its intricate design reflects humanity's fascination with astronomy and navigation. Published in George Gregory's renowned A Dictionary of Arts and Sciences in London during 1807, this engraving captures both historical significance and artistic beauty. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to each object while preserving their fine details.
