    Hi,
    
    It is a detail from a well-known woodcut from one of Camille Flammarion's popular 
    astronomy works.
    
    Simply google ''Alexandria" and "observatory" and you find the original and several 
    others, some even with a 'telescope'.
    
    The colouring is not original and it is mirror-reversed. See also

    What could this person possibly be measuring? Artistic license for sure.
