Centuries ago, many astronomical books included moving parts to help readers interpret the world around them.
This biscuit recreates a diagram from Sacrobosco’s ‘De Sphaera’ (c.1550). It could be used to calculate the changing length of daylight hours through the year. 🍪

Amazing, as always!
Sorry, couldn't resist. I'm just incredibly envious of your decoration skills. Just in total awe.
The design is painted onto royal icing by hand using food colouring gels and vodka.
This biscuit was created using the wonderful Special Collections & Archives at Utah State University.
Welcome!
