Stunning Baxter print of the Biblical view of the universe. It shows the Firmament, Moon and Stars all revolving around the Earth. Also noted is the passage of a year, noting that The Year originally reckoned from the beg'n of April to the end of March. A fine example of the delicate color and shading for which these scarce Baxter prints are known. Engraved by W. P. Clubb & Son.
