‘The New Description of Heaven”

In stock
Two celestial charts on one sheet, both depicting the constellations with connecting lines rather than the classical figures, thus making the stars of each system more apparent. Above is a double-hemisphere (unusually with the northern skies on the right); below is a tabular view, centred on the equator, also showing the paths of the planets (including 'Herschel', now Uranus).
