"Planetary System, Eclipse of the Sun, the Moon, the Zodiacal Light, Meteoric Shower" by Levi Walter Yaggi, 1887 Placemat

A dark blue celestial map dominates the center of this intricate 1887 astronomical chart, ringed by detailed illustrations of solar and lunar eclipses, planetary bodies rendered in gold and copper tones, and naturalistic landscape vignettes depicting meteoric phenomena. The composition layers historical scientific observation with romantic natural drama, rendered in a richly textured palette of deep indigos, warm metallics, and shadowed earth tones that evoke both the mystery of the cosmos and the earnest wonder of Victorian-era astronomy. Printed on 100% cotton with natural cotton on the back and made to order, machine washable. Everyday dinners set under an independent artist's work, not vinyl from the seasonal aisle.
