Cancer Constellation
1880 - 1946
Henri van der Stok transforms the zodiac sign Cancer into a towering, armored giant in this dramatic Art Deco illustration. Set against a deep, starry night sky, the massive crustacean—resembling a lobster—perches on a rocky shore with its long antennae sweeping across the heavens like celestial arcs. The bold, high-contrast lines and the stylized 'CANCER' text at the bottom give it the feel of a vintage poster or a page from a mystical 1920s almanac. It’s a perfect blend of astronomy and graphic design, making the stars feel tangible and powerful.
