Description

Step into the golden age of astronomical wonder with this 500-piece puzzle featuring an original 1800s engraving of Lord Rosse’s Leviathan Telescope—the world’s largest telescope until the 20th century. Built in the 1840s at Birr Castle, Ireland, this massive optical invention was the first to reveal the spiral shape of galaxies, including the Whirlpool Galaxy.

Digitally restored in high-contrast grayscale, the engraving captures the gothic scale, ironwork majesty, and human awe surrounding this scientific titan. Part of Goodson Gallery’s Illustrated Inventions series, this puzzle offers a meditative dive into history, engineering, and the drive to reach the stars.
