The image beautifully captures the front part of this remarkable instrument, adorned with a tympanum, the mother and net.

The photograph was taken on a momentous occasion - during the Exhibition of the History of Science in 1929 held in Florence. It serves as a testament to both the historical significance and scientific prowess embodied by this extraordinary artifact. An astrolabe is not merely an object; it represents centuries of human curiosity and ingenuity in understanding our place within the cosmos.
