Antique Astronomy Prints -
School Astronomical Atlas

Background:

These detailed Astronomical prints are from a late 1800s English atlas whose stated objective was to provide a "useful Introduction to Astronomy" and to "commend itself to the more advanced cultivators of the science".  In addition to general maps of the stars  to use during night-time stargazing, other prints provide details on other astronomical events such as eclipses, meteors, nebula and paths of the planets.
