Edge Of The Universe

A wood engraving depicting a figure kneeling where the flat Earth meets the celestial barrier with the Sun, the Moon and the stars beyond, 1888. Known as the 'Flammarion engraving', the illustration appeared in 'L'atmosphere: meteorologie populaire' ('The Atmosphere: Popular Meteorology'), by the French astronomer Camille Flammarion (published in 1888), and is believed to be a 19th-century illustration imitating medieval aesthetics and themes.
