About this work
A hand-colored star chart from John Flamsteed's celestial atlas depicts the constellation Cancer as a red crab at center, surrounded by neighboring constellations such as Le Lion, les Gemeaux, Le Petit Chien, l'Hydre and la Licorne. Fine dotted lines, grid coordinates and star markings are printed on a pale blue and cream ground, with the ecliptic marked by a red and white dashed band.
