Absolutely stunning antique late 17th century celestial map depicting Venus and Mercury's orbit from earth, from ‘Atlas Coelestis seu Harmonia Macrocosmica’ by Andreas Cellarius (1596 - 1665). The map surrounded by superb decorations including two title banners held aloft by pairs of Cupids and the head and shoulders of more cupids. Two smaller spheres at lower right and left have two seated women holding books. The most beautiful of all early celestial atlases and produced in the golden age of Dutch map making.
