Orbium Planetarum Terram Complectentium Scenographia by Andreas Cellarius
$29.00
Print only, frame not included
Wide, tilted bands circle a small Earth at the center of this chart, one for each planet's sphere, labelled in Latin with names such as Sphaera Saturni and Sphaera Iovis. The bands overlap like ribbons, and the outermost carries the signs of the zodiac. Two smaller diagrams sit in the lower corners, and winged figures hold the title cartouches at the top. The title means, roughly, a view of the orbits of the planets surrounding the Earth: the picture shows the Earth-centred model of the universe.
Andreas Cellarius (c. 1596–1665) was a Dutch-German cartographer, best known for Harmonia Macrocosmica (1660), an atlas of the heavens. This plate, in warm sepia, shows how engravers of his time turned astronomy into decoration.
Lab-printed to order on luster photo paper in 8×10, 16×20, 24×30 and 40×50 inches. It suits a study, an office or any room where a detailed picture can be looked at up close.
