Planisphaerium Coeleste - Celestial Chart, by Tobias Conrad Lotter
A fine art reproduction of a colorful antique celestial map engraving from 1772. The celestial sphere is represented as two hemispheres that map constellations of stars intertwined with beautifully drawn illustrations of astrological signs. Each sign of the zodiac is illustrated. Inset diagrams depict Copernican hypothesis, the Ptolemaic hypothesis, the Tycho Brahe hypothesis as well as phases of the moon, effect of the moon on tides, and annual orbit of earth around the sun.
These vintage celestial maps are a unique style of astronomy chart that make a fantastic art piece to hang on your wall.
Each map is produced as a detailed museum quality archive print. This special printing process is known as Giclee (zhee-CLAY) and is commonly used to produce very high quality fine art prints. Printed on Archive Paper, Luster Photo Paper, or Matte Canvas.
Map print ships rolled up in a durable cardboard tube. Frame is not included.
Premium fine art paper that provides accurate color reproduction with high-contrast, high-resolution print output and maximum image permanence. A high-quality print ready for framing.
A premium semi-gloss photo paper with a subtle texture that produces a vivid, richly detailed print. This material results in an exquisitely detailed giclee print of substantially higher quality than a standard poster.
A canvas giclee print is mounted to wooden hanging rails placed along the top and bottom of the map. Ready to hang on the wall using the attached hanging cord. Wood rails feature a natural finish.
