This is the frontispiece to A New Astronomy for Beginners, by David P. Todd, an 1897 textbook on the latest astronomical breakthroughs. The passage on page 298 about total eclipses says this painting is “by no means overdrawn” when it comes to “weird color effects” due to at atmosphere saturated with water vapor.
