Cassiopeia Constellation Astronomical Chart Art Print
Cassiopeia, the queen in the sky
In this historical star chart, Cassiopeia sits in her chair among the stars. Her story tells of a queen whose boast about her beauty angered Poseidon; the turning sky leaves her chair upside down for part of its journey. The constellation itself is easy to spot by the distinctive W formed by five bright stars: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon Cassiopeiae.
This art print reproduces card #3 from Urania’s Mirror, a set of 32 astronomical cards published in London in 1825 to help people learn the stars and constellations. Associated with Jehoshaphat Aspin, the chart brings mythology and a recognizable northern-sky pattern together in one piece.
Make room for a little celestial storytelling in a reading nook or gallery wall. Available as a premium-quality archival art print by Brandywine General Store.
