Description
Complete Geography of the Heavens Astronomy Engravings. This is an illustrated atlas entitled "The Geography of the Heavens." It is comprised of exquisite pastel-colored engravings of constellations and other astronomical figures. This copy is complete, with all eight pages. There is a small handwritten note on the first page, perhaps a dedication of some sort, but it is mostly illegible except for the date June 13th, 1845. This lot is truly gorgeous, and rare to find in such good condition. One might say it's heaven-sent.
Dimensions are 16.5 in h x 14.25 in w x .5 in d. Condition is good. The cover is discolored, and the corners are bumped. Plates I and II are separated from the binding. There is mild foxing on the interior pages. However, the engravings themselves are in very good condition. Please call or email for a detailed condition report.
Please note: Public Sale does not offer in-house shipping. Recommended shippers are listed on the Information page of our public web site. Shipping delays may occur due to holiday and pandemic-related logistics. On behalf of the third-party shipping vendors we recommend, your patience and understanding is appreciated.
