Astronomy and Space Art

This is scanned from the October 1998 issue of Sky & Telescope, p. 104. I have a copy of the 4th edition of Guillemin's The Heavens (New York, 1872), but sadly this beautiful painting is not included. Is this available as an art print anywhere? Who is the artist? Is it Guillemin?


Reprinted from The Heavens by Amédée Guillemin (New York, 1872).
