Flammarion engraving
The Flammarion engraving is a wood engraving by an unknown artist. Its first documented appearance is in the book L'atmosphère : météorologie populaire ("The Atmosphere: Popular Meteorology"), published in 1888 by the French astronomer and writer Camille Flammarion. Several authors during the 20th century considered it to be either a Medieval or Renaissance artwork, but it is now seen as a 19th-century illustration of unknown authorship that imitates older artistic styles and themes. Camille Flammarion himself may have been the artist, or designer; he had trained as an engraver.
