The Geography of the great Solar Eclipse of July 14 1748

A fascinating meeting of science and design, this antique celestial print charts the geography of the great solar eclipse of 14 July 1748 with the elegance of an early astronomical broadside. Surrounded by lunar phases and filled with the measured curiosity of Enlightenment-era observation, it is a striking piece for anyone drawn to antique astronomy prints, vintage scientific illustration, and historic celestial wall art. This is an edited reproduction made from antique/public domain source imagery. 

With its detailed mapwork and orbital imagery, this vintage eclipse print makes a wonderful addition to a study, library, office, or gallery wall. It has the character of a collector’s piece - both decorative and scholarly - and is especially suited to lovers of astronomy, antique maps, and the history of how people once understood the skies.
