| Samuel Augustus Mitchell, A New Map of Texas, Oregon and California - 1846 |
Samuel Augustus Mitchells 1846 A New Map of Texas, Oregon and California was the most detailed and comprehensive map of its time. It accurately depicted all of the important emigrant trails including the Oregon Route, Fremont's routes, the Caravan Route to Santa Fe and the Great Spanish Trail. It was used by Brigham Young in 1847 en route to The Great Salt Lake and by the first California gold-seekers before the Gold Rush. This beautiful map is a fascinating window on the way West before interstate highways or even the transcontinental railroad. This is an exact re-creation of the 1846 hand-colored engraving. Published by Discovery Editions in full-resolution watercolor on heavy watercolor paper; hand-stamped and numbered on verso.

| Andreas Cellarius, Ptolemaic World View |
Cellarius' Scenographia Systematis Mundani Ptolemaici is a perspective rendering of the earth-centric solar system described by Ptolemy and accepted by the civilized world before Copernicus. Earth is rotated to show the entirety of the Old World of Europe, Asia and Africa. The sun and planets are on their earth-centered orbits. The celestial star sphere is a band of constellations surrounding the solar system. At the lower corners, scholars and astronomers -- possibly Ptolemy, Galileo and Brahe -- confer over celestial globes. This is an exact re-creation of the 1660 hand-colored engraving. Published by Discovery Editions in full-resolution watercolor on heavy watercolor paper; hand-stamped and numbered on verso.

| Andreas Cellarius, Copernican World View |
Cellarius' Scenographia Systematis Copernicani is the iconic masterpiece of the Harmonia Macrocosmica, the greatest celestial atlas. This dramatic rendering of Copernicus' sun-centered solar system is dominated by the brilliant anthropomorphized sun and radiating bands of its light. The earth is shown in four phases of orbit around the sun, depicting both the Old and New Worlds and demonstrating the planet's rotational and revolutionary movements. The celestial star sphere is the zodiacal band of constellations surrounding the heliocentric solar system. This is an exact re-creation of the 1660 hand-colored engraving.

| Andreas Cellarius, Brahean World View |
Cellarius' Scenographia Compagis Mundanae Brahea is a persepective rendering of Tyco Brahe's compromise explanation of celestial mechanics. He attempted to reconcile the classical Ptolemaic system with the Brahea of Galileo and the revolutionary theory of Copernicus. He proposed sun-centric orbits for Venus and Mercury; and showed this small solar system -- as well as the other planets -- in orbital paths centered around the earth. The decorative borders show humans and angels observing the heavens with astrolabes, cross staffs and compasses. This is an exact re-creation of the 1660 hand-colored engraving.

| Andreas Cellarius, Chart of Lunar Phases and Eclipses |
Cellarius' Typus Selenographicus Lunae phases et aspectus varios ad umbrans is a beautiful and ingenious visual explanation of the moon's phases and eclipses. The central image depicts the moon's movement about the earth and its eight typical phases when viewed from earth in relation to the sun. This wonderful map also shows the basis for and phases of lunar eclipse and provides an unusual illustration of thirty-six lunar phases that accounts for the complex lunar observations that result from the relative movement of the moon and the sun across our sky. This is an exact re-creation of the 1660 hand-colored engraving. Published by Discovery Editions in full-resolution watercolor on heavy watercolor paper; hand-stamped and numbered on verso.
