Fine reproduction print of the planets Mars and Venus, originally published in An Atlas of Astronomy by Robert Ball in 1892.
Printed on heavyweight, museum-quality Hahnemühle Fine-Art paper, this detailed reproduction brings to life the beauty and intrigue of two of our solar system’s most fascinating planets.
Mars, often called the “Red Planet” due to its rusty-red surface, is home to the largest volcano and the deepest canyon in the solar system. Its immense dust storms can engulf the entire planet for months. Venus, the hottest planet in our solar system, experiences temperatures up to 900°F due to a thick atmosphere that traps heat through a runaway greenhouse effect. Venus also rotates in the opposite direction of most planets, making its day longer than its year.
These planets have been central to space exploration, and their mysteries continue to captivate scientists. In mythology, Mars and Venus were associated with the Roman gods of war and love, respectively—symbols that have carried over into modern interpretations, including astrology, where Mars represents ambition and courage, while Venus symbolizes love and creativity.
Robert Ball’s “An Atlas of Astronomy” features 72 plates, offering a comprehensive overview of astronomy with detailed maps of the solar system, star charts, and illustrations of celestial phenomena.

I'd recommended that your new print be allowed to settle for a period of time prior to framing or hanging. Place your print under a few large books, sandwiching it between tissue paper on both sides, for a minimum of 24 hours.
