Bilder Charles Blunt – The Progress of an Eclipse – Chromolithograph (c.1840)

Beskrivning

This 19th-century educational chromolithograph titled The Progress of an Eclipse was created by C. Blunt and published in London around 1840. The diagram illustrates both the visual sequence and spatial mechanics of a solar eclipse. The upper portion shows the phases of the eclipse in progressive stages, while the lower section features a dynamic representation of the celestial bodies involved — the Earth, Moon, and Sun — aligned along orbital paths to demonstrate the phenomenon.

Charles Blunt was a British scientific educator and author of several works on astronomy and physics. He specialized in the creation of accessible visual aids that popularized scientific knowledge during the Victorian era. His diagrams were widely used in classrooms and amateur science circles.
