1835 Visible Heavens in Jan., Feb. and March, E. H. Burritt

Item Details

Description

Wonderful hand-colored map of the visible constellations in the first quarter of the year. Orion the Hunter, Taurus the Bull, Cancer the Crab and other mythological creatures bring this special “map” to life. The drawings of the Zodiacal figures are by Elijah H. Burritt. Burritt's 1835 celestial charts present the night sky as viewed in each of the four seasons. Each chart has a Scale of Magnitude of the stars to indicate the brightness of each star when viewed by a person locating the constellations in the night sky. Elijah H. Burritt was a Connecticut school teacher who decided the school astronomy books available in the early 1830s were not adequate. Intent on writing his own astronomy school textbook, Burritt trained himself in astronomy by traveling to Cambridge, Massachusetts to use the Harvard Telescope. Burritt's 1835 Atlas and textbook became the 19th century American standard astronomy texts for students in the United States and remained so for at least a generation. The extreme tips of three of the margins, although sound, have been reinforced professionally. 13.25 x 14
