“I absolutely love my framed map of Charleston. I ordered the 36x48 and it looks gorgeous hanging in my kitchen. The size makes it such a statement piece and everyone comments on how much they like it! It came with the hanging hardware, which was helpful and easy to use.”

The Story Behind the Print
Sidney Hall Cancer Zodiac Print 1825
This archival zodiac print reproduces Sidney Hall's hand-colored engraving of Cancer the crab from the 1825 celestial atlas Urania's Mirror. The historic constellation figure and surrounding stars retain the character and fine detail of the original card.
The portrait composition has a continuous warm archival paper ground, a complete engraved border and coordinated artwork scale. Every design in this zodiac series uses the same visual geometry so several signs can hang together as a seamless set.
Premium Archival Quality
Printed to order with archival inks on heavyweight 325gsm museum-grade matte paper. The restoration preserves the hand coloring, engraved line work, historic lettering and full decorative frame while replacing the uneven aged paper with a consistent warm background.
Available Presentations
Choose Print Only or a professionally framed version in Satin Black, Slimwood Silver or Slimwood Gold. Available artwork sizes are 9 x 12, 12 x 16, 18 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 distinctive birthday or horoscope gift for astrologers, stargazers, astronomy enthusiasts and collectors of antique 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.
