Astronomy: a diagram of the Earth's passage around the Sun in a solar year. Coloured engraving by J. Emslie, 1851, after himself.
A coloured engraved diagram shows twelve small globes arranged in an oval orbit around a yellow sun at centre, each labelled by month and season. Seasonal words spring, summer, autumn and winter appear in the pink inner field, with a bordered band of colour framing the circuit. Text blocks fill the side margins, and the printed title runs across the top.
