The constellation Canis Major is envisioned by illustrator Sidney Hall as a greyhound in this piece: the original is one of thirty-two cards that came in a box titled Urania’s Mirror. For each star you see in the constellation there’s a small pinhole; when you lift the card to the light, you see the pattern of the constellation, which you can then identify in the sky! Brilliant.

About the Poster Design

After researching and writing the book "Museum of Dogs," I realized there are so many gorgeous pups that deserve a place in our hearts and on our walls! I've created these posters to give each piece of dog art a fresh, modern vibe.
