Description
This map is a wonderful illustration of the solar system, the motions of the Sun, and some astronomical data in 1839 when the science of the heavens was still advancing. It was created by Charles V. Monin, a French map publisher and La Sociéte de Géographie member in Paris. The map is hand colored and engraved, and it is in good condition, with some minor foxing. It measures 17 1/2 x 12 1/2 inches, and its authenticity is guaranteed. The map shows the orbits of the planets and their moons around the Sun, using a scale of millions of leagues. The map also shows the phases of the Moon, the seasons, the eclipses, the zodiac, and the equinoxes and solstices. The map also includes a table of the distances and diameters of the planets, and a table of the times of the rising and setting of the Sun and the Moon. This map is a valuable and beautiful piece of cartography, showing the solar system, the motions of the Sun, and some astronomical data as they were in the early 19th century. It is a great opportunity to own a historical treasure, and to see how the sky was viewed by the Europeans at that time. I
