A medieval missionary finds the point where Air and Earth meet. Flammarion engraving in L’atmosphère: météorologie populaire (1888) Detailed Specifications This is a modern reproduction of the original print. This Print Comes in Sizes:11"x14" and 16"x20"You can find more Flat Earth Prints inOur Store All Our Prints and Maps Are Made in the USA"During the 19th century, the Romantic conception of a European "Dark Age" gave much more prominence to the Flat Earth model than it ever possessed historically. The image depicts a man crawling under the edge of the sky, depicted as if it were a solid hemisphere, to look at the mysterious Empyrean beyond and to view the mechanics of the spheres.The print illustrates the statement in the text that a medieval missionary claimed that "he reached the horizon where the earth and the heavens met", an anecdote that may be traced back to Voltaire, but not to any known medieval source. This print comes with a white border around the image --------------------------- -How are the prints shipped?
