Does anyone know of a place where I might be able to purchase prints of these
two meteor-related images:

This is a woodcut of the meteor leonid shower of 1833
and

My favorite early image of the 1833 shower is here.....

...and I'm partial to it for two reasons: One, rather than emanating from a
specific radiant-area, the meteors are drawn as if they're all traveling
TOWARD it. Perhaps some confusion on the part of the artist, when the concept of a
shower-radiant was explained to him. And the other reason....is that it
happily resides in my own personal collection. ;-) I'm very pleased that
Richard Norton thought highly enough of it to put in his new "Cambridge
Encyclopedia of Meteorites" (p. 14).
