Description

Stars of the First 5 Magnitudes – 1909 Northern Latitudes Star Map

This beautifully detailed reproduction of the 1909 Star Map of Northern Latitudes illustrates the visible stars and constellations from the northern hemisphere, meticulously drawn by architect and astronomer Albert W. Dilks. The map showcases stars of varying magnitudes and includes constellations such as Pisces, Andromeda, and Cassiopeia. It’s an excellent representation of celestial knowledge from the early 20th century, combining artistic cartography with scientific accuracy.

This map is historically significant for its contribution to early astronomical charts, offering both beauty and insight into the night sky as seen over a century ago. Perfect for astronomy enthusiasts, collectors of celestial maps, or anyone fascinated by the stars.

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.
