This Donati Comet of 1858 print is a museum quality reproduction of Robert Stawell Ball's astronomical illustration from 1892. The period lettering and distinctive visual character of the historical work are preserved in this edition.
A narrow luminous comet head and long, faint tail rise diagonally through a dark field scattered with stars. The heading identifies Donati’s comet on October 5, 1858; this plate was published in Ball’s 1892 atlas. The sparse composition concentrates attention on the delicate contrast between the comet and the surrounding night sky.
