About this work
A hand-colored celestial chart from John Flamsteed shows the constellations Hydra and Sextans, with the serpent's long green body winding across the sky. A golden sextant instrument overlaps the serpent's head, and surrounding constellations such as la Coupe, le Corbeau, le Lion and la Vierge are labeled in French with star points and coordinate grids.
