19th Century "Diagram of Meteorology" taken from J Reynolds Collection of "Astronomical Diagrams" published in 1846.
One of a set of 12 hand-tinted astronomical prints with explanatory card, this is an imaginative depiction of a landscape and seascape displaying a wide range of atmospheric phenomena. This are numbered and listed below the image and include wind, waterspouts, various cloud formations, precipitation, glaciers, aurora, rainbow, halo, mirage, mock suns, zodiacal light, "Will with a Wisp", lighting, falling stars and aerolites. The reverse has a long printed text with explanations of The Atmosphere, Aerial Meteors, Aqueous Meteors, Luminous Meteors and Igneous Meteors.
The corners are a little dog eared and there is some faint foxing but the print would still look great framed and displayed on a wall.
