A Fine Early Seventeenth-Century Italian Celestial Globe

23

(globes.) giuseppe de rossi; after jodocus hondius.
Globus Coelest, in quo stellae fixæ omnes quæ a N. Viro Tychone Brahe suma cura observatæ sunt, accuratissime dessignantur: quibus adjuncte sunt circa Pol. Aust. stel: quæ a pertiss: nauclero Petro Theodori annotate sunt simul accomodate ad ann. 1614; æditus vero ann. 1615.

[Milan or Rome], 1615

8-inch celestial globe comprised of 12 hand-colored engraved gores, laid horizontally on steel axis pins within a modified turned mahogany stand; globe with only minor unobtrusive wear, green wash applied at original construction aged to an attractive patina, small previous owner's mark to the right of Sagittarius, base with repairs.

The present astral sphere faithfully replicates a slightly earlier globe created by Jodocus Hondius in Amsterdam, 1601; our maker, de Rossi, excludes any acknowledgement to that original source. Whether Rossi used the original Hondius plates versus new gores engraved in Italy, the pert imagery of each emblematic constellation is crisp and dramatic - a delightful way to visualize the celestial skies; the unusual flat format makes for a pleasing overhead tabletop viewing experience.

The Barritt-Serviss Star and Planet Finder - Northern Hemisphere.

New York, 1906

Moveable circular star chart riveted between a base board and a die-cut top frame. 15x15 inches; some staining and light wear but generally surviving very well.

A handy device to show the visible stars and constellations of the heavens at any given hour of the day, any day of the year. “Revolve the map until the day of the month desired stands opposite the hour of the day you wish, and that portion of the map showing within the opening below, will present the stars and planets in view at that hour. Hold the map over your head - the top north, and you will see the stars just as they appear in the heavens.”
