The southern celestial hemisphere
Haemisphaerium Stellatum Boreale Antiquum.
£4,000.00
Description
A superbly-decorated celestial chart of the skies of the Northern Hemisphere, showing the classical constellations including all twelve of the Zodiac. The border filled is with winged cherubs.
It was engraved by Jan van Loon and published in the 'Atlas Coelestis; seu Harmonia Macrocosmica', the only celestial atlas to be produced in the Netherlands before the nineteenth century. It was a compilation of maps of the Ptolemaic universe and the more modern theories of Copernicus and Brahe, and remains the finest and most highly decorative celestial atlas ever produced.
