"Aquarius and Capricorn from A Celestial Atlas" refers to illustrations of the constellations Aquarius and Capricorn as depicted in "A Celestial Atlas" by the Scottish cartographer Alexander Jamieson, published in 1822. Jamieson's work is notable for its detailed and artistic representation of the constellations, blending scientific accuracy with the mythological aspects traditionally associated with celestial cartography.

The atlas itself was created during a period when interest in astronomy was flourishing, and it was intended to serve both the scientific community and the educated public. Jamieson's atlas includes a series of plates that illustrate the constellations of the night sky, following the tradition of other celestial cartographers such as Johann Bayer and John Flamsteed. The plates for Aquarius and Capricorn are particularly noteworthy for their intricate engravings and the way they convey the figures associated with these zodiac signs.

Aquarius, the Water Bearer, is often depicted as a young figure pouring water from an urn, which is represented in Jamieson's atlas with a level of detail that reflects the constellation's position and significance in the night sky. Similarly, Capricorn, the Sea Goat, is illustrated with the hybrid features of a goat and a fish, capturing the mythological essence of the constellation while also mapping out its stars.

Jamieson's "A Celestial Atlas" is considered an important work in the history of astronomical literature, as it bridges the gap between scientific rigor and the artistic representation of the heavens. The illustrations of Aquarius and Capricorn stand out as exemplary works within the atlas, demonstrating Jamieson's skill in celestial cartography and his contribution to the visual culture of astronomy in the early 19th century.
