The constellations of Monoceros and Canis Minor

The Unicorn and Small Dog. Also shown, unnamed, is 'Officina Typographica', 'the printing office', an obscure constellation created by Bode. Created to honour a scientific advance, it was quickly forgotten by astronomers. One of a set of thirty-two printed cards designed by 'a young Lady' to make the study of astronomy 'familiar and amusing'. It shows the constellations as visible in the night skies of Britain, with easily identifiable classical embodiments. The card is pricked through with holes of different sizes so that the amateur astronomer can hold it up to a light and get an immediate impression of the apparent magnitude of each star. Engraved by Sidney Hall.
