19th Century "Comparative Magnitudes of the Planets" taken from J Reynolds Collection of "Astronomical Diagrams" published in 1846.
One of a set of 12 hand-tinted astronomical prints with explanatory card. The main diagram shows the Earth's annual rotation around the Sun, surrounded by a zodiacal scale that gives the names, symbols and images of the signs of the zodiac. The seasons and the positions of the equinoxes and solstices are marked. Text at the corners describes the Zodiac and the Earth, and a longer text at the bottom explains the Phenomena of the Seasons.
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.
