Sphere and stand

Celestial table globe. Astronomical details on the sphere include a magnitude table below Sagittarius in a cartouche with the symbol of the Sun on top with text. The Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds are labelled. A total of 27 stars and three star groups are named. The 48 Ptolemaic constellations and four of the non-Ptolemaic constellations are drawn. Three of the southern constellations are drawn, as well as those of Plancius and Hevelius.

The constellations are drawn in the style used by Hevelius, which in turn was inspired by Blaeu's 680 mm celestial globe. The stand is not original. The horizon scales are the same as those of Doppelmayr (GLB0075) and lack the special features described in the advice to the reader on the sphere.

Manufactured in the UK

All products are printed in the UK, using the latest digital presses and a giclée printmaking process.

We only use premium branded inks, and colours are independently verified to last between 100 and 200 years.

Delivery & returns

We print everything to order so delivery times may vary but all framed pictures are despatched within 5-7 days via courier or recorded mail.

Due to the coronovirus pandemic and Brexit situation, current shipping times may be longer, particularly for destinations outside the UK.

Delivery to the UK is £10 for a single framed print.

We will happily replace your order if everything isn’t 100% perfect.
