About this work

A hand-coloured celestial map from Johann Elert Bode's 1805 star atlas shows the constellation Gemini as two standing youths, Castor and Pollux, embracing beside a lyre, with the Milky Way and surrounding constellations such as Cancer, Canis Minor, Taurus and Orion drawn in and labelled. Star positions are marked with red and gold stars, and the sky is bounded by a decorative border with coordinate numbers.
