EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable celestial globe from the 16th or 17th century, adorned with intricate depictions of animals and other creatures representing the signs of the zodiac. Crafted by an English School artist, this wooden sphere serves as a testament to the artistry and scientific curiosity of that era. The celestial globe stands proudly in Middle Temple, London, UK, offering a glimpse into centuries past. Its exquisite detailing transports us back to a time when mapping and cartography were still in their infancy. As we gaze upon this ancient artifact, we can't help but marvel at how our understanding of the world has evolved since then. Every inch of this celestial sphere is adorned with symbols that represent various astrological signs. From majestic lions to graceful fish and mythical creatures in between, these depictions bring forth a sense of wonder and mystery associated with astrology. Photographer Derek Bayes expertly captures the essence of this historical treasure through his lens. The lighting highlights every delicate curve and etching on its surface while preserving its timeless beauty for future generations to admire. As we reflect on this image, we are reminded not only of humanity's fascination with the stars but also our enduring desire to explore and understand our place within the vast cosmos.
