English: Urania's Mirror; or, a view of the Heavens is a set of 32 astronomical star chart cards, first published in November 1824. They had illustrations based on Alexander Jamieson's A Celestial Atlas, but the addition of holes punched in them allowed them to be held up to a light to see a depiction of the constellation's stars. They were engraved by Sidney Hall, and were said to be designed by "a lady", but, in fact, were designed by the Reverend Richard Rouse Bloxam (Q50888399), the assistant master at Rugby School at the time. The cards were contained in a box depicting Urania, the muse of astronomy, which also contained a book entitled A Familiar Treatise on Astronomy... written to accompany the cards.
Русский: Зеркало Урании, или вид Небес (англ.Urania’s Mirror) представляет собой набор из 32 карточек созвездий, впервые опубликованный в ноябре 1824 года[1][2]. Карточки основаны на иллюстрациях из A Celestial Atlas Александра Джеймисона[2], но с добавлением отверстий, так чтобы дать представление о виде созвездий, если держать карточку напротив света[1]. Каждый набор раскрашивался акварелью вручную, поэтому слегка отличается от остальных. Гравёром издания является Sidney Hall, а авторство рисунков было приписано некой «Леди». Но затем картинки были идентифицированы как работы преподобного Ричарда Рауза Блоксэма, помощника мастера из школы в Рагби[3]. На обложке коробки с карточками изображена Урания, муза астрономии. Набор карточек шёл вместе с книгой под названием Популярный трактат по астрономии … (англ. A Familiar Treatise on Astronomy… ), написанной в качестве дополнения[2][4].
П. Д. Хингли, исследователь, которому удалось раскрыть тайну создателя карточек через сто семьдесят лет после их публикации, считает их одними из самых привлекательных карт из тех, что печатались в начале XIX века.
