"A belated sequel to the 'Foundation Trilogy' marking Asimov's return to his distinctive brand of cerebral space opera after more than twenty years.

184620591<p><b>Original Muggletonian Celestial Astronomical Baxter print</b></p><p><b><i>System According to the Holy Scriptures</i></b></p><p>Drawn by Isaac Frost Engraved by Clubb & Son London. Printed in oil by George Baxter.</p><p>Plate 10. This is a particularly dramatic and hauntingly beautiful print showing the Earth suspended in the firmament day on the top and night on the bottom. The colors on this image are among the best that Baxter produced.</p><p>The Baxter oil print shown here was made in 1846 for the private use of the Muggletonians an English religious group that denied a sun-centered solar system. The Muggletonians derived their own view of the universe and these plates are among the rarest of all Baxter prints having been made for private use and never widely circulated. Part of a larger set total eleven prints made for Frost's <i>Two Systems of Astronomy</i> this print was never bound into a book but remained as a loose printed sheet. It is surmised that the others in this series were lost in the London Blitz when the Muggletonian archives were largely destroyed. The Baxter process a complex and costly printing process produced a spectacular image and the plates are strikingly beautiful. The image measures about 7 3/4 x 10 3/4 inches with decent margins. This print is in excellent brilliant condition with wide margins. Overall size of sheet is approximately 10 x 12 1/2 inches with the slightest of browning at the very edge of the margins not affecting image. Baxter Muggletonian prints are scarce and were unknown to C. T. Courtney Lewis in the first edition of his work on George Baxter.</p><p>The plates we have for sale were printed for a work titled "Two Systems of Astronomy" and were most likely circulated only to members of the sect and not sold as a commercial publication due to the expensive Baxter colour process. These plates were produced to illustrate an alternative to the Newtonian beliefs of gravity and terrestrial and celestial motion and are important in the history of the relationship between religion and science. Our plates were never bound into a book but were separately published as single leaves.</p> George Baxter books
