Sun Spots, from Austrian Journal of Popular Astronomy, 1876 Color Lithograph antique bronze chop I'm ever on the huntThis striking image of sun spots as they appeared on November 3, 1868, comes from a volume of Zeitschrift fr populre Astronomi (Journal of Popular Astronomy), published by Lith Anst, Graz (Austria), c. 1876. The image itself was created by Ernest Matthey Guenet, who I have found mentions of but not much of anything about. The yellow is slightly more saturated than appears in photos; just lovely and the perfect way to get to stare directly at the sun!
