«Flammarion engraving» - I JUST LOVE THIS PIC AND THE MESSAGE! | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 15927830  United Kingdom08/04/2013 03:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | «The Flammarion engraving is a wood engraving by an unknown artist, so named because its first documented appearance is in Camille Flammarion's 1888 book L'atmosphère: météorologie populaire ("The Atmosphere: Popular Meteorology"). The engraving has often, but erroneously, been referred to as a woodcut. It has been used to represent a supposedly medieval cosmology, including a flat earth bounded by a solid and opaque sky, or firmament, and also as a metaphorical illustration of either the scientific or the mystical quests for knowledge.» You've probably seen it here and there, it looks SO magical and AWAKENING! ;) «A traveller puts his head under the edge of the firmament in the original (1888) printing of the Flammarion engraving.» BW: [link to upload.wikimedia.org] COLOR: [link to i.imgur.com] MORE INFO: [link to en.wikipedia.org] BUMPIN' BUMPIN'  |

I think someone here uses it as their avatar. "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." - T. S.
