Cepheus, a king among the constellations
Follow an ancient sky story with this Cepheus constellation art print. In Greek mythology, Cepheus is the king, husband of Cassiopeia and father of Andromeda, whose constellations lie nearby. The constellation was also cataloged by the astronomer Ptolemy in the second century.
Cepheus is home to the Garnet Star, while the Wizard Nebula, Iris Nebula and Fireworks Galaxy are found in its region of the sky. This historical chart comes from card #4 of Urania’s Mirror, a set of 32 astronomical cards published in London in 1825 to help people learn the stars and constellations. The card is associated with Jehoshaphat Aspin.
Bring the history and mythology of the northern sky to a study or gallery wall. Available as a premium-quality archival art print by Brandywine General Store.
