A striking star chart centered on Leo [The Lion], marvelously engraved and delicately colored. Shows the featured constellations in color with neighboring stars and constellations without color. Jamieson's work is one of the finest of it's kind in the early 19th century. Alexander Jamieson published A Celestial Atlas Comprising A System Display of the Heaven. This work was published in London by G & W.B Wittaker, T. Caddell and N. Hailes in 1822.
Includes a colored Leo and uncolored parts of the constellations of Ursa Major, Leo Minor, Cancer, Sextus Uraniae [obsolete, now Sextans], Crater and Coma Berenices. Includes a line showing the ecliptic positions in various months, with Leo halfway between September and August.
This edition of Jamieson's work was later used for Urania's Mirror, a collection of star cards with punched holes so one could line them up with the constellations.
