Rare mezzotint in excellent condition depicting the great meteor seen over Britain on August 18th, 1783. The great meteor of 1783 was visible for a thousand miles over northwestern Europe.

Witnesses reported that the meteor lit up the whole sky, with a letter in the Evening Chronicle recounting that its “lustre almost equalled the sun”.

Heidrun Rathgeb Mangata, 2020 Mezzotint Etching Edition:!0 Signed verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) I am a painter- printmaker living in the South of Germany, not far from Lake Constance. My work is based on specific, special moments in daily life. Often I am drawing my children, the landscape around or a particular memory. Over the past 20 years I have filled hundreds of small sketchbooks with personal‚ magic moments. The best of these drawings lead to an etching or a painting with an idea of a light, of an atmosphere and the intensity of a particular moment in time.
