Aspin - Constellation Map of Hydra, Owl, Crow (Noctua, Corvus, Crater, Sextans, Hydra, Felis, Antlia Pneumatica)
This originally hand-colored celestial engraving on card is from Jehoshaphat Aspin's Urania's Mirror or a View of the Heavens.... The work was published in London by Samuel Leigh at the Strand in 1825.
The engravings for the work were done by Sidney Hall. Each card features pin holes used to locate star positions.
Paper Size: ~ 7 3/4" by 4 1/2"
The work is in good to excellent condition overall. There is some very light foxing near the edges. There may be a few minor marks or imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
~ 7 3/4" by 4 1/2"
