Mornas / Desnos: Celestial Map, Copernican Solar System

Item Details

Description

Title/Content of Map: "Systeme de Copernic" Copernican solar-system model- an attractive antique engraving.

Date Printed: 1761

Cartographer: Mornas and Desnos

Size (in): 18 x 12

A fine representation of Copernicus' astronomical theory of our solar system where the planets revolve around the sun. The Copernican theory eventually came to replace an earlier geocentric theory in which the Earth was the center of the universe and all celestial bodies orbited it. Image is surrounded by French text on both sides. Original antique copper-plate engraved sheet issued in Paris in 1761. Nicely hand colored.

Sold by Buy de Mornas (d. 1783), geographer to Louis XVI, and Louis-Charles Desnos, artist, (1725-1805), who ran one of the most important French map-making enterprises. From "La Manniere de Reconnoitre les Principales Etoiles dans le Ciel". The topics covered by prints in that work include the seasons, the Sun, our solar system and its various conceptions over history, the stars and phenomena such as eclipses.
