    A stunning chart of the Earth's motion around a brilliant orange Sun illustrating the four seasons. Notes the positions of the earth during the Solstices and Equinoxes. Closer to the Sun are the orbits of Venus and Mercury. Two smaller insets show a different view of the eliptical orbit of the Earth around the Sun, and how the Sun shines on the earth at different hours of the day. This is a rare and decorative image.

    Condition is very good, with just light browning to the margins. Image size 18.5 x 23.5 (inches)
