Description

A constellation map of the northern sky, Philadelphia 1909

Albert W. Dilks published this chart of the stars of the first five magnitudes visible in northern latitudes in Philadelphia in 1909, with a copyright notice of the same year. The Library of Congress catalogs it under stars, astronomy and constellations.

Please note: the scanned copy is a photocopy

The Library of Congress copy, and therefore this file, is not the printed chart itself. The record calls it a color photocopy, mounted on cloth, with slightly different typography from the original printed copy it resembles. The chart measures 36 × 39 cm on a sheet of 45 × 59 cm. What you buy is a careful scan of that photocopy.
