Vintage Flammarion Illustration of Universe Square Sticker

Flammarion hand drawn illustration of Universe. It depicts a man dressed in mediaeval pilgrim's clothing with a staff in his hand. He reached the edge of the Earth and through the curtain of the vault of heaven examines the structure of the Universe. One of the elements of this celestial mechanics is very reminiscent of the traditional graphic images of “God’s chariot” (Merkabah) from the visions of the prophet Ezekiel, in the form of a “wheel within a wheel.” The caption reads: "Mediaeval missionary says he found the point where the sky touches the Earth."
