The Earth beneath the Clouds
A globe floats between pale cloud forms against a dark upper field. Broad land and sea shapes establish its planetary scale. The illustration opens The Light of the Past, where Urania’s guide turns the narrator’s attention back towards the Earth and the relation between distance, light and time.
