Cellarius' 1660 Harmonia Macrocosmica, the most beautiful and important 17th century celestial atlas, is an exquisite work of art that comprehensively expressed the state of scientific knowledge of the heavens. Its spectacular illustrations of Copernican theory, along with those of Ptolemy and Brahe, are perfect examples of the marriage of art and science that characterizes the Art of Discovery.

This beautiful time machine is a window on the world when cartographers believed California was an island and the Church rejected the notion that the earth revolved around the sun. This work is an intricately beautiful time machine that will provide years of conversation, contemplation and enjoyment.

"Absolutely perfect and magnificent".
