Lot 2195
Tobias Conrad Lotter celestial map (in Latin). Planispherium Coelestre. 1772. Augsburg. 23 x 19". From Atlas Novus.
Dampstaining along bottom edge below map image, at upper right corner; surface soil throughout (likely) contemporary ink ID verso; pencil ID verso; binders stub has minor tears, is still intact. trimmed almost to plate mark. Original color has faded somewhat, but an interesting side effect is that the paint used to accentuate the galaxy has left an apparent metallic residue that flouresces brightly under UV. Overall, very good condition.
A gorgeous double hemisphere map in the Hevelius style, as formatted by Eimmart.
Estimated Value $2,500 - 3,000.
