53 Charles F. Blunt – Libra – Original Hand-Colored Lithograph from The Beauty of the Heavens – London, 1842
This striking hand-colored lithograph represents the constellation Libra, depicted as a classical set of golden scales suspended in a star-filled sky. The stars are highlighted in gold against a deep black background, following the style of Charles F. Blunt’s The Beauty of the Heavens, an educational series designed to illustrate the major constellations with scientific clarity and visual elegance. The balance of artistic symbolism and accurate star mapping reflects the 19th-century fusion of astronomy and decorative printmaking.
Charles F. Blunt was a British educator and author of astronomical works that sought to make celestial knowledge accessible to a broad audience. His constellation charts are now prized for their luminous design and historical charm.
