Image description

From The Manchester Murals, 1879-93 The painting shows William Crabtree, a draper, who assisted Jeremiah Horrox with astronomical observations, watching the transit of Venus over the sun on November 24th, 1639. Horrox might not have made his world renowned observation if Crabtree had not helped him. William Crabtree (1610–1644) was an astronomer, mathematician, and merchant from Broughton, then in the Hundred of Salford, Lancashire, England. He was one of only two people to observe and record the first predicted transit of Venus in 1639
