About this work

A hand-coloured star chart shows the northern celestial hemisphere as it was envisioned for the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans, with constellations drawn as mythological figures and animals around a central pole and a circular frame of degree markings. The ecliptic, polar circles and a band of the Milky Way are marked across the sky.
