The Story Behind the Print
Étienne Léopold Trouvelot Mare Humorum Moon Map 1875
This archival astronomy print reproduces Étienne Léopold Trouvelot's celebrated chromolithograph of the lunar Mare Humorum from an 1875 study. First published in 1882 as part of The Trouvelot Astronomical Drawings, the plate pairs careful observation with unusually atmospheric color and detail.
The landscape composition brings a vivid scientific subject to a study, library, bedroom or collected gallery wall. Its warm ivory ground, artwork scale and balanced borders are coordinated across the Trouvelot series so multiple plates hang together seamlessly.
Premium Archival Quality
Printed to order with archival inks on heavyweight 325gsm museum-grade matte paper. The complete plate, including its historic title and signature details, is centered on a continuous warm ivory background.
