EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching is an illustration from the third book of "Astronomía, Geografía y Gobierno Indiana" (Astronomy, Geography, and Indigenous Government) written by Antonio de Ulloa and Jorge Juan. Published in Madrid in 1783, this significant work documented the astronomical and physical observations made during their expedition to the Spanish colonies in America between 1772 and 1775. The image portrays various celestial bodies and astronomical instruments, including the sun, moon, and planets, as well as a sextant, quadrant, and meridian. The illustration is adorned with intricate details and annotations, reflecting the meticulous nature of the scientific observations recorded during the expedition. The title "Observaciones Astronomicas y Fisicas Hechas en el Reino de Perú" (Astronomical and Physical Observations in the Kingdom of Peru) is inscribed at the top, highlighting the focus on the scientific discoveries made in the South American region. The illustration is also embellished with a royal coat of arms, symbolizing the patronage and support of the Spanish monarchy for scientific exploration and advancement. This etching, housed in the Navy Museum in Madrid, Spain, is a testament to the rich history of scientific inquiry and exploration during the Age of Enlightenment. The collaboration between Antonio de Ulloa and Jorge Juan resulted in groundbreaking discoveries and advancements in various fields of science, including astronomy, geography, and physics. Their work continues to inspire and influence scientific research and exploration to this day.
