“Since the website didn't have an image of the print when framed, I was skeptical that it would be done the way I had envisioned. Purchase arrived quickly, was packaged very carefully, was framed beautifully. EXACTLY what I had hoped for!”

The Story Behind the Print
Andreas Cellarius Planisphaerium Arateum 1660
This archival art print reproduces Planisphaerium Arateum, Andreas Cellarius's 1660 chart of the classical constellations in a celestial planisphere. The complete engraved composition retains its intricate diagram, Latin lettering, ornamental figures and restrained hand-colored detail.
The broad landscape format and finely layered linework give the chart a stately presence in a study, library or collected gallery wall. Its warm ivory ground is shared across this Cellarius series so several plates can hang together with consistent scale and borders.
Premium Archival Quality
Printed to order with archival inks on heavyweight 325gsm museum-grade matte paper. The complete plate is centered on a continuous warm ivory background, with consistent artwork scale and balanced borders across the series.
Available Presentations
Choose Print Only or a professionally framed version in Satin Black, Slimwood Silver or Slimwood Gold. Available artwork sizes are 16 x 12, 24 x 18 and 32 x 24 inches. Framed options have no mat and arrive ready to hang. Sizes refer to the paper artwork; the frame adds to the outside dimensions. Display props are not included.
A Thoughtful Gift
A considered gift for astronomers, stargazers, science-history readers, map collectors and admirers of seventeenth-century celestial art.
Color and Detail Note
Screen settings can affect the appearance of printed colors. Fine historic lettering is best appreciated close up. This is a newly made reproduction, not an original antique print.
