Poe "Evening Star" Victorian Art Poetry Tea Towel

Kitchen/Tea Towel: "Evening Star" (Edgar Allan Poe), vintage art and historical poetry with a modern twist. An astronomer in his observatory gazes enthralled at the moon and stars in this lovely Victorian illustration of 1846 by Daniel Maclise and F. P. Becker. The original black-and-white engraving is in the public domain, and I've remixed it with a modern twist by digitally hand-colouring it. To complement the enchanting imagery, I've incorporated a quotation from the beautiful 1827 poem Evening Star by Edgar Allan Poe: "'Twas noontide of summer,
 / And mid-time of night; / 
And stars, in their orbits,
 / Shone pale, thro' the light / 
Of the brighter, cold moon,
 / 'Mid planets her slaves,
 / Herself in the heavens,
 / Her beam on the waves." This pretty tea towel is perfect for the kitchen of a 21st-century lover of 19th-century art and poetry.
