Monocerous and Canis minor (Unicorn and small dog)

One of 16 individual prints featuring animal myths and legends of London as star constellations. The 16 images can be displayed together to create a single wall art feature, or as individual prints.

The ghost image of the River Thames in the background of many of the images links them all together (inspired by how the milky way is often depicted in antique star constellation prints).

Monocerous and Canis minor (Unicorn and small dog) features the rhinos of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries London (their official heraldic crest and emblem as in in 1617, the rhino was heavily associated with 17th-century medical beliefs regarding the powerful prophylactic and healing properties of its horn) and The New Chien Savant, a learned dog from the 1700’s who could knew Latin and Greek and could spell pythagoras.
