Hi Gregory,   Yes, I have seen that one many times and it is a cool image.   -Walter ------------------------------------------ www.branchmeteorites.com ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 2:11 AM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Have You Seen These?  [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does anyone know of a place where I might be able to purchase prints of these two meteor-related images:   http:/www.branchmeteorites.com/misc/leonid1833.jpg This is a woodcut of the meteor leonid shower of 1833 and http:/www.branchmeteorites.com/misc/meteor7oct1868.jpg My favorite early image of the 1833 shower is here.....   http://members.aol.com/sharkkb8/meteorites/1833shower.jpg   ...and I'm partial to it for two reasons:  One, rather than emanating from a specific radiant-area, the meteors are drawn as if they're all traveling TOWARD it.  Perhaps some confusion on the part of the artist, when the concept of a shower-radiant was explained to him.  And the other reason....is that it happily resides in my own personal collection.  ;-)     I'm very pleased that Richard Norton thought highly enough of it to put in his new "Cambridge Encyclopedia of Meteorites" (p. 14).   Gregory J.
