| 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.

| Andreas Cellarius, Northern Sky View |
Cellarius' Hmisphrii Borealis coeli et terr sphrica scenographia is an imagined view from distant space through the constellations of the Northern celestial hemisphere to Earth's northern hemisphere. It shows the North Pole, northern Asia, and parts of North America and Europe. This classical Aristotelian view placed the stars on a transparent sphere that rotated around Earth, the planets and the sun. Cellarius's star chart is a visual explanation of the motions of the spheres. At the lower left, a man, possibly Galileo, holds a compass and a celestial globe. 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, Southern Sky View |
Cellarius' Hmisphrium stellatum Australe is an imagined view from distant space through the constellations of the Southern celestial hemisphere to Earth's southern hemisphere. It shows Terra Australis where Antarctica was found several centuries later; South America; and, a portion of North America. The stars appear on a transparent sphere that rotates around Earth, planets and sun. Cellarius believed this sphere moved in coordination with the earth, in a celestial harmony that is the title of his atlas, Harmonia Macrocosmica. 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, Ptolemaic Planisphere |
Cellarius' Planisphaerium Ptolemaicum Orbium Mundi Ex Hypothesi is a Andreas Cellarius, Ptolemaic Planisphere, or two-dimensional plan view rendering of the earth-centric solar system as described by Ptolemy and accepted by the civilized world before Copernicus. Earth is shown from above and surrounded by the fiery orbit of the sun. The other planets are drawn along their earth-centered orbits by celestial chariots. At the lower corners, older, beleaguered astronomers -- possibly including Ptolemy -- appear disinterested in the global considerations of their younger counterparts. 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 Planisphere |
Cellarius' Planisphaerium Copernicum Universi Totius Creati Ex Hypothesi Copernicana in Plano is an intricate clockwork-like rendering of Copernicus' solar system centered around the brilliant anthropomorphized sun and the radiating bands and lines of its light. The northern hemisphere of the earth is shown in orbit around the sun, depicting both the Old and New Worlds. The earth-shadowed moon is shown in its obit about the planet. The other planets are represented in a gear-like way and placed in their mechanistic heliocentric orbits. This is an exact re-creation of the 1660 hand-colored engraving.

| Andreas Cellarius, Brahean Planisphere |
Cellarius' Planisphaerium Braheum Mundi Totius Ex Hypothesi is a two-dimensional plan rendering of Tyco Brahe's compromise explanation of celestial mechanics. Brahe reconciled the classical Ptolemaic system with the observations of Galileo and the revolutionary theory of Copernicus. He proposed sun-centric orbits for Venus and Mercury; and showed this small solar system -- and the other planets -- in orbital paths centered around the earth. The celestial star sphere is shown as the zodiacal band of constellations surrounding the Brahean universe. This is an exact re-creation of the 1660 hand-colored engraving.

| Original John James Audubon Octavo Raccoon |
From The Quadrupeds of North America by John James Audubon and published in 1849. Two raccoons are depicted in this original, the adult and its young. Part 13, plate 61. Produced by Audubon and his family, this rare 7.5 x 10 lithograph was colored meticulously by hand with watercolor paints. Perhaps only a few thousand were ever produced and not all of them remain in existence today. As each Audubon original is hand-colored, no two are exactly alike. A certificate of authenticity from Princeton Audubon Limited is included. Print is in excellent condition with no paper loss and the original binding holes are visible.
