Capricorn constellation
1880 - 1946
Standing tall against a pitch-black, starry sky, this majestic goat looks ready to conquer the jagged, geometric mountains beneath its hooves. The bold, high-contrast style is classic Art Deco, turning the landscape into a puzzle of sharp angles and shattered crystals. At the bottom, the word 'CAPRICORNUS' is written in a funky, stylized font that anchors the composition. Dutch artist Henri van der Stok created this woodcut to represent the zodiac sign, blending ancient astrology with the sleek, modern graphic design trends of the early 20th century.
