“I couldn't believe my eyes when I unpacked the New York Times print. The quality is amazing and it really almost looks as if you have an old copy in your hand - once it's on the wall you can barely tell the difference. I am super happy with this print and would recommend shopping at this store anytime. Thank you so much!”

The Story Behind the Print
Étienne Léopold Trouvelot Zodiacal Light 1876
This archival astronomy print reproduces Étienne Léopold Trouvelot's celebrated chromolithograph of the zodiacal light observed on February 20, 1876. First published in 1882 as part of The Trouvelot Astronomical Drawings, the plate pairs careful observation with unusually atmospheric color and detail.
The portrait 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.
Available Presentations

“I contacted Paolo to see if she had a map of a certain coastal area that wasn't currently available on her site. She responded within a few hours and located the print by the next day. I received the map a few days after shipping. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the print or the service. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with!!!”
“The print is beautiful and exactly what I expected. The customer service was OUTSTANDING. The seller went above and beyond to make sure I got my item in time for Christmas and even sent out a new one next day shipped because the first one wasn’t moving along fast enough through the postal service. Definitely recommend this seller and will be purchasing more from this shop in the future. Thank you!”
