Celestial Mirror presents a comprehensive photographic study of the Jantar Mantar observatories in India, constructed by Maharaja Jai Singh II during the early eighteenth century. Through precise large-format imagery, Barry Perlus documents these monumental stone instruments, revealing the sophisticated intersection of geometric design, architectural engineering, and early modern astronomical science.
