EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Parhelia, or Mock Suns" takes us back to the 19th century when scientific illustrations were highly valued for their educational and aesthetic qualities. The print showcases a stunning natural phenomenon known as parhelia or mock suns, which are optical illusions that create additional bright spots of light on either side of the sun. The English School artist skillfully captures the ethereal beauty of these atmospheric phenomena, evoking a sense of wonder and curiosity about our planet's mysteries. The intricate details in this engraving allow us to appreciate the delicate interplay between light and air particles that give rise to such enchanting displays. Originally published as an illustration for Robert Brown's book "Our Earth and Its Story" this artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also educates viewers about physical geography. It reminds us of how much we still have to learn from our Earth's diverse landscapes and weather patterns. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported into a world where science meets art. It is a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with nature's wonders and our constant quest for knowledge. Let it serve as a reminder that there is always more beneath the surface waiting to be discovered, both within ourselves and in the vast expanse of our planet.
