A large globe of the Earth sits at the center of this chart, wrapped in circles and a wide, tilted band that carries the planets and the signs of the zodiac. Fine lines of latitude and longitude fill the space around it. The title cartouches read "Scenographia Compagis Mundanae Brahea": a view of the universe as Tycho Brahe described it, with the Earth at the center. In the lower corners, seated figures surrounded by instruments and books study the heavens, and small winged figures drift through the clouds.
Andreas Cellarius (c. 1596–1665) was a Dutch-German cartographer, best known for Harmonia Macrocosmica (1660), an atlas of the heavens. The publishers named on this plate, Pieter Schenk and Gerard Valk, reissued the atlas.
Lab-printed to order on luster photo paper in 8×10, 16×20, 24×30 and 40×50 inches. Well suited to a study, a library wall or a home office.
