Lynx and Telescopium Herschelii, 1825

Astronomical chart showing a lynx and a telescope forming the constellations. Lynx is a constellation in the northern sky. It is named after the lynx, a genus of cat. It is a very faint constellation; its brightest stars form a zigzag line. It was designated by Johannes Hevelius in 1687. Telescopium Herschelii (Herschel's telescope) was a constellation created by Maximilian Hell in 1789 to honor William Herschel's discovery of the planet Uranus. It was located in the constellation Auriga near the border to Lynx and Gemini. It is no longer in use. Urania's Mirror is a boxed set of 32 constellation cards first published by Samuel Leigh of the Strand, London, in or shortly before 1825. An unidentified lady, referred to by her nom-de-plume, Jehoshaphat Aspin, designed these whimsical astronomy cards. The engraver was Sidney Hall.
