All images are from Urania's Mirror, an 1824-5 set of star charts.

Reason
Per my FA push for Urania's Mirror, I'm trying to restore all 32 plates - although I suspect two will have to be pulled from FP as the LoC does not make high-resolution copies available for those at present, so I'm having to go with next-best-thing. Hopefully I'll pick those up soon.
Anyway, as I said, I'm trying to break this into manageable nominations, so this nomination handles all the constellations of The Sea - Capricornus, Cetus, Delphinus, Eridanus, and Hydra - excepting those three which are already featured - Aquarius and Piscis Austalis and Pisces
Three more sets remain after this one, four if I manage to source a good Orion and/or Pegasus.
Articles in which this image appears
All are in Urania's Mirror, they are also, with rare exceptions, in all of the constellations linked in their respective descriptions.
FP category for this image
Wikipedia:Featured pictures/Artwork/Others is where they've been going; I'd go with some division of Space, myself, but we can discuss that later.

  • Note I decreased the vertical thumbnail sizes so they're less overwhelming on the FPC nominations page. --Pine 18:38, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I tried fiddling with that, but honestly wasn't getting anything that took up substantially less space, since it's too many to get under two rows Adam Cuerden (talk) 22:54, 23 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
