49.5 x 58.5 cms. Fine, bright original colour. One small tear, closed without loss, but still a very good example of this map.
Doppelmayr’s Celestial Atlas was printed by the Homann Heirs in 1742, but this is a much earlier example of one of J.B. Homann’s plates included in one of his first atlases. This map shows the irregular orbits of Venus and Mercury around the Sun, derived from a hypothesis of Tycho Brahe, for the years 1712 and 1713.
