John Flamsteed: Aquila, Sagitta, Vulpecula & Anser Delphinus.
Title: Aquila, Sagitta, Vulpecula & Anser Delphinus. Map Maker: John Flamsteed
Description: Gorgeous map showing the constellations Aquila, Sagitta, Vulpecula & Anser Delphinus and surrounding constellations, from John Flamsteed's rare celestial atlas. John Flamsteed was the first Astronomer Royal at the London Observatory, winning out over Edmund Halley and Isaac Newton. He made a copius and thorough study of the heavens, but refused to publish his works, despite the urgings of his colleagues, including Halley and Newton. Finally, his life's work was published posthumously in 1728, in what is now an extremely scarce to rare work.
