Image is about 19x22 ½ inches. Each hemisphere is approximately 11 inches 28 cm in diameter. The condition of this sheet is extremely fine. Full bright original hand color very good wide margins. The plate is a bit large for the atlas size and often the lower margin is trimmed. There are a few minute wormholes in the margin not affecting the platemark or image. This is one of the nicer copies we have had. There is no letterpress text on verso.</p><p>This is a famous double-moon map. The left hemisphere shows the Moon's surface with the features named by Hevelius the astronomer who constructed the first Moon atlas. On the right is the nomenclature of Riccioli a Jesuit anti-Copernican. Riccioli's nomenclature prevailed and is still in use today.</p> Homann books
