Title
Diagram of solar orbit over a flat earth
Subject
Astronomy -- Curiosa and miscellany.
Description
This diagram illustrates how the sun illuminates the Earth in Samuel Rowbotham's model of a flat Earth. The book that contains this drawing was published in 1881, well after the vast majority of Western civilization dismissed the notion. Rowbotham called his observations "zetetic astronomy" and believed the curvature of the Earth was an optic illusion.
