Urania's Mirror; or; a view of the Heavens is a set of 32 astronomical star chart cards; first published in November 1824. They had illustrations based on Alexander Jamieson's A Celestial Atlas; but the addition of holes punched in them allowed them to be held up to a light to see a depiction of the constellation's stars. They were engraved by Sidney Hall; and were said to be designed by 'a lady'; but have since been identified as the work of the Reverend Richard Rouse Bloxam; an assistant master at Rugby School.
The cover of the box-set showed a depiction of Urania; the muse of astronomy; and came with a book entitled A Familiar Treatise on Astronomy... written as an accompaniment.
