Russian Celestial Map 1909
This 1909 Russian celestial map depicts the constellations and the Milky Way as seen from both the Northern and the Southern hemispheres. A comparative chart shows the size of the planets in relation to the sun. More cosmological information are presented, such as the phases of the moon, the explanation of the seasons, and the orbits of various celestial objects. It's worth noting that the text is written in the old Cyrillic alphabet of prior 1918. This map is one of my favorite, not only for its subject matter and originality, but for its strikingly beautiful vintage colors.
Our Map Reproductions are handmade in our Los Angeles studio using heavyweight 23 mil Epson Exhibition Satin Canvas. This elegantly textured canvas features a semi-gloss satin surface that is enhanced with protective elastic polymers. Decorative wood is assembled on the top and bottom, with two eye-hooks mounted on the top piece. We also supply a jute rope twine that can be attached between the two eye-hooks to complete the vintage feel of a roll down canvas scroll.
