Created using an 1833 engraving by artist Vollmy, the Stargazer print features a night sky filled with thousands of shooting stars. Vollmy’s work depicts the earliest recorded Leonid Meteor shower, in which more than 240,000 meteors fell from the sky in one night to the amazement and astonishment of onlookers in towns and villages across North America. We like to think that 240,000 wishes were made that night too!
The detailed moon on the sleeves, comes from astronomy artwork produced at the Camille Flammarion Observatory near Paris in 1899.
