EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The eclipse of the sun by the earth. 1888" takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century astronomy. Created by George Roux, a renowned engraver, this piece is based on a novel by André Laurie called "The exiles from the Earth". The image beautifully captures an extraordinary celestial event - an eclipse of the sun caused by our own planet. Intriguingly, amidst this astronomical spectacle, we see a group of astronomers gathered in an observatory. Men and women alike are engrossed in their observations, peering through both traditional brass telescopes and more modern instruments. The room's interior is depicted with meticulous detail, showcasing the scientific tools and equipment that fill every corner. Roux's skillful engraving technique brings depth and texture to this black-and-white composition. It transports us to France during this era when scientific exploration was at its peak. The presence of both feminine and masculine figures highlights how astronomy transcends gender boundaries. As we admire this remarkable artwork captured by Jaime Abecasis' lens, we can't help but feel inspired by humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe. This print serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with space exploration that continues to captivate minds even today.
