Description
Probably the most iconic of the constellations this particular drawing is one of our favourites, with their flowing manes & toothy grins we do just love our lions. Printed on our luxury board with debossing and gold foil details these designs have been inspired by the collection of vintage astrological & astronomical illustrations by Sydney Hall (fl.1818-1860). When we stumbled across these glorious and accurate drawings we found it hard to believe they were drawn in the 1800s and equally hard to choose which ones to recreate! The designs were origonally created as star charts, with holes cut where you see the gold dots and stars on our designs, when you held them up, light would shine through these holes, creating the pattern of the contselation in the sky. They were used to teach people to identify the constellations by comparing the night sku to these star guides! When you have finished with our matchbox why not remove the cover and make small holes where you see the gold detailing, you will then have created a little contsellation guide of your own! Or we like to frame ours as little artworks of their own!
