Sterrenbeeld tweelingen before 1887

This photograph of the constellation Gemini was produced by Henry Frères, a French photographic studio active in the late 19th century, before 1887. This image, titled "Sterrenbeeld tweelingen," is a striking example of early astronomical photography, showcasing the detailed capture of celestial objects in a time before advanced photographic technology. The image's stark contrast between the dark background and the bright stars emphasizes the vastness of the cosmos and the beauty of the night sky.
