Vintage Celestial Chart Print by Andreas Cellarius
This high quality mid-century lithograph of the famous Dutch series, has finite detail and vivid colours and is part of the Harmonica Macrocosmica, first published by Janssonius in 1660. The work consists of 29 double plates made in sumptuous baroque style. The first part describes cosmological theories, as well as illustrates motions of the sun and planets that were discovered by Ptolemy, Copernicus, and Tycho Brahe. The last eight plates, which this particular print belongs to, depict constellations of both celestial hemispheres and planispheres. Cellarius' charts are the most sought after of celestial charts, blending the striking imagery of the golden age of Dutch Cartography with contemporary scientific knowledge. The print has been professionally framed in a wooden frame with a matte black finish and a plexiglass front, it also features a brass hook at the back ready for mounting. This unique work would make a beautiful addition to any space, especially when combined with Cellarius’ matching framed prints of celestial charts to complete the set (as seen in the images.)

Print Dimensions: H44.5cm x W51cm
These are old prints that are perfectly imperfect so please expect some wear and tear, creases and discolouration especially around the edges - refer to images for more details. These individual characteristics are part of the charm and unique quality. Please note, colour may vary from screen to screen
