Description “Marvell's satirical poem, 'The last instructions to a painter', contains what is apparently the first reference in English to the disappearance of sunspots in the late 17th century, only 50 years after they had been discovered. This passage, with other contemporary references, demonstrates that the lack of sunspots was well known by 1670.”
