Night

by Thomas Jefferys

In the charming "Night" print by Thomas Jefferys is a symbolical female depiction representing the enigma of the night. She is clad in a black cloak and a crescent moon crown while wearing a heavenly blue dress decorated with stars made of gold. In her hands, she holds a fan featuring the different phases of the moon.

This highly detailed and hand-colored engraving technique showcases the skillful craftsmanship of the 18th century by integrating artistry, mythology, and astronomy into one vintage design.
