Instruments of Observation

This rare and unusual engraving is part of a sixteen piece collection of subjects dedicated to the portrayal of ancient instruments of observation and measure. Each piece is created using a hand engraved copper plate. The plate, which is an outline of the image, is then hand-pressed onto a special antiquated cotton canvas. Our Italian artisans then begin painting by hand, inch by inch using rustic water colors to bring this piece of art to life. Begin your collection with a few, or enjoy the entire series.

This piece represents an Arabic astrolabe of 1208. An astrolabe is an astronomical instrument for taking the altitude of the sun or stars and for the solution of other problems in astronomy and navigation: used by Greek astronomers from about 200 BC and by Arab astronomers from the Middle Ages until superseded by the sextant.

Due to the unique nature of this item, it is not eligible for return.
Please allow 1-2 weeks before it ships to you from California.
