About the Artwork
E. L. Trouvelot watched the great comet of 1881 trace its arc above Massachusetts and rendered what he saw in chromolithographic strokes still startling today. The tail splinters into ivory tributaries, ascending through a sky mixed from teal, viridian, and petrol blue. Near the nucleus, light concentrates into a pearl-bright point.
An observatory dome, blackened by backlight, raises its telescope toward that wandering ice. Below, a window leaks lamplight into the composition's lower corner, grounding stellar event in terrestrial space. Stars punctuate the firmament like pinpricks through indigo paper.
Trouvelot's fifteen astronomical lithographs, published in 1882, remain touchstones of 19th-century scientific illustration, where the Harvard College Observatory met the chromolithographic press. This phone case starring the Great Comet of 1881 holds that Gilded Age wonder—comet tail, scattered stars, aquamarine atmosphere—fused to your daily carry.
