CELESTIAL MAPS

This remarkable set of celestial maps were engraved in 1820 England by A. Jamieson.
In a collection of 30 prints, Jamieson meticulously redrew and updated the celestial atlases produced
by Bode and Flamstead, adjusting charts and updating the data and positions of some of the stars.
The result was an opus not readily accepted by the powers-that-be on the basis of it being 'different'
than the works of the masters. But having said that, Jamieson dedicated years to the production of
this work for the purposes of , firstly, to promote the mythology and art that was handed down and
secondly, to render the science of these charts more accurate than the former.

These prints are largely in perfect condition and being early pulls
from the plates, the finest lines are well articulated.
All are sold for C$ 275 unmounted and the paper size is approx. 9-1/2" x11-1/4".
