Pulled from the archives of the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, this captivating picture depicts the sun and, along the bottom, the eight planets through to Neptune, which were know about at the time the image was taken. This is one of nine wall hangings in the collection and lends itself well as a bold canvas.
