1888 Color Map of the Solar System

Overall Size including text and borders : 11 1/4 x 13 1/2 ins. CONDITION: Single page Map that also has a full page map on the back. As Scanned. This 1888 map, titled "The Solar System," offers a detailed and comprehensive visual representation of our cosmic neighborhood. The central circular diagram depicts the orbits of the planets around the sun, with arrows indicating the direction of each planet's motion. The map includes labels for the planets and their satellites, highlighting the complexity of their movements. Surrounding the main diagram are several supplementary tables and data points. The top left table shows the periods of rotation for the moon and planets, while the top right table displays the periods of revolution and mean distances of the planets from the sun. The map also includes specific details about individual planets and their satellites, such as Jupiter and its moons, and the orbits of Mars, Jupiter, and the asteroids. Notably, the map features a section dedicated to the "Minor Planets" and the orbits of Neptune and Saturn, along with their satellites. The bottom of the map includes a chart showing the relative distances of the planets from the sun, with a scale represented by zodiac constellations like Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Aquarius. The map employs a mix of text and diagrams to provide a thorough understanding of the solar system's structure and dynamics as understood in the late 19th century, making it a valuable educational tool for both amateur astronomers and scientific study.NOTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU PURCHASE: This is a GENUINE ANTIQUE VINTAGE 1880s MAP. It is NOT a modern reproduction, ie. a laser scan, photocopy, etc. It is the original from the antique or vintage atlas or book publication. This map was published on the date mentioned, or circa the date mentioned at the top of the page. The map I have for sale, like many antique vintage prints and maps that you see online, originate from an antique vintage book or atlas publication. The publication may not always be known. If you have any questions, emails are welcome. Shipped Unmatted.

Orders are processed and ship within 3 business days.
The shipping cost also include all packaging and handling which is done with the utmost care. We use foamcore for added protection. We sometimes use very sturdy tubes to ship the larger prints. There are times when we need to requote shipping as we offer combined shipping charges for multiple items. If you have any questions, emails are welcome. Rest assured we try to get your order to you as quickly as possible.

Shipping speeds are estimates based on the carriers' delivery times and cannot be guaranteed. Due to the recent pandemic we have found shipping to be a little slower than expected due to shortage of staff. If your order will pass through Customs, please expect a delay. Any applicable Customs duties or brokerage fees are the responsibility of the buyer. If local sales taxes apply, or if the order is heavy or oversized and requires additional shipping, we may contact you directly about extra charges.
