Copernicus with lily of the valley

close-up of 2-block lino print of Copernicus with his revolutionary map of the solar system.

 

The "fixed stars" and the lily-of-the-valley (standard Renaissance symbol for a medical doctor, as most 'scientists' or doctors of philosophy actually trained as medical doctors in those days) are shown.
