The Observer | Through the Telescope 23

A robed figure stands on a stone rooftop terrace at night, holding a slim, multi-barred sighting instrument up to a sky scattered with small white stars. Around them sit a large celestial globe on the right, a ringed armillary sphere in the lower left and a carved chair, while tall columns covered in hieroglyph-like markings rise at the edge. Low rooftops and a distant horizon fill the background. It looks like an old engraving, drawn in fine pen lines in sepia and grey-olive tones.

It's a calm, studious print with a bit of old-library mystery. Hang it above a study desk, beside a bookshelf or on the wall above a bed, where the soft tones sit quietly in the background. Pair it with Celestial Cartography from Through the Telescope if you want to build a small wall of night-sky prints.
