This Aquarius Print is a reproduction of a 19th-century woodcut from William Hone’s Hone’s Everyday Book (1826), one of the most beloved collections of folklore, customs, and astrological lore of the era. The image depicts Aquarius, the Water-Bearer, seated among the clouds and pouring out a great stream of water from his celestial urn, symbolizing renewal, knowledge, and cosmic flow.

The Vision of the Water-Bearer

His endless stream of water signifies inspiration, revelation, and the continuous movement of cosmic energy.

Available as a fine art print on hand-made paper for a classical, antique look or on canvas for a dramatic gallery-style finish. Each piece is delivered unframed, so you can frame it to match your personal style and display it in a study, meditation space, or astrology-themed room.
