Created by Alexander Jamieson, this astronomical chart is part of his renowned work, A Celestial Atlas. Intricately detailed and beautifully preserved, the print showcases Bootes and Mons Maenalus alongside other constellations like Asterion and Chara or Canes Venatici, Coma Berenices. The artist's skillful rendering brings these heavenly bodies to life, allowing us to marvel at their ethereal beauty.
