Description

Rare celestial map of the Northern Sky.

The constellations are shown as figures according to classical mythology, including Hercules, Andromeda, Pegasus, Orion, and Sagittarius. A ring surrounding the chart lists the months of the year, and a key at bottom left identifies the brightness of each star.

A French note at bottom right explains that the projection of the chart has caused an "inevitable irregularity" in which some of the constellations are shown larger than their real dimensions.
