What The Ancient Greeks Thought About Astronomy - original antique illustration ~ circa 1940s published in Great Britian "This picture represents the system of Astronomy as it was conceived by the Ancient Greeks and Egyptians. Notice that near the centre of the diagram the four elements of the ancients - Earth, Water, Air and Fire - are indicated...." This unusual and beautiful image portrays how the ancient Greeks and the Egyptians saw the universe. The illustration includes The Heaven of the Firmament and the Abode of the Blessed as well as the Crystalline Primum and Mobile Heavens. The paper is in good condition. On the reverse side there are two antique photographs - "The Great Dome" of Mount Wilson Observatory and "Tower Telescope at Mount Wilson" of Mount Wilson Observatory tower. These do not show through but are interesting in themselves. *.*. Combined Shipping One Shipping Cost for prints and bookplates per order.
