Planisphaerium Orbis Mun Hypothesi – 18th Century Celestial Map

This beautifully detailed reproduction of the Planisphaerium Orbis Mun Hypothesi map showcases a historical view of the universe based on a geocentric model. Created during the 18th century, this celestial map places the Earth at the center of the universe, surrounded by the orbits of planets and zodiac signs. The elegant artwork includes depictions of celestial figures and scientific scholars, reflecting the beliefs and astronomical knowledge of the time.

This map is historically significant for illustrating early scientific theories about the cosmos before the acceptance of the heliocentric model. It’s a fascinating piece for those interested in astronomy, history of science, or vintage cartographic art.

I personally digitally restore and clean up the original scanned image, adjusting colors, exposure, and fixing blemishes to produce a high-quality print. However, to maintain the vintage look and historical accuracy, I retain some imperfections.

What Makes My Prints Different

Sure, you might find similar prints elsewhere, but not all prints are equal. I use a high-end lab with professional photo printers, high-quality archival inks, and acid-free archival Lustre paper—a premium, heavier paper offering vibrant colors with a fingerprint-resistant, glare-free matte finish. Prints are available in all popular sizes; select your size when ordering. Please note that listing photos are low resolution, but high-resolution files are used for printing. Prints are unframed; frames shown are for illustration purposes only.

Shipping

Prints are carefully packaged to prevent damage during transit. They are shipped flat in a rigid box or rolled in a sturdy mailing tube, depending on size. Please refer to the shop’s policies for additional shipping information.
