1835 Visible Heavens in July, August, September, E. H. Burritt

Item Details

Description

Fantastic and scarce hand-colored map of the visible constellations in the third quarter of the year by Elijah H. Burritt. Burritt’s 1835 Atlas of the Visible Heavens is fairly scarce and the earliest of his atlases available, making this constellation map quite desirable. Sagittarius the Archer, Scorpio the Scorpion and Cygnus the Swan and other imaginary mythological figures adorn this special map of the sky. Burritt drew the characters himself. His 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. Burritt was a Connecticut school teacher who felt school astronomy books available in the early 1830s were not adequate. Intent on writing his own astronomy school textbook, Burritt trained himself in the science by traveling to Cambridge, Massachusetts and using Harvard’s 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. Very light foxing in spots. 13.125 x 13.75
