1856 BURRITT'S "THE CONSTELLATIONS" Complete Set of 4 GEOGRAPHY OF HEAVENS ATLAS

Description

UP FOR SALE I HAVE A VERY RARE SET OF ALL 4 SHEETS, FOR ALL 12 MONTHS OF THE CONSTELLIONS. IT IS DATED 1856, & IS BURRITT'S "THE CONSTELLATIONS", JANUARY THRU DECEMBER, 3 MONTHS ON ONE SHEET. THESE GEOGRAPHY OF HEAVENS ATLAS WOULD LOOK TERRIFIC IF YOU FRAMED THEM, & HUNG THEM UP.
YOU MAY BE LUCKY ENOUGH TO FIND ONE HERE & THERE, BUT NEVER ALL 4 TOGETHER, ESPECIALLY IN THE WONDERFUL CONDITION THEY ARE IN, UNTIL NOW, RIGHT HERE. THEY WERE ENGRAVED BY W.G. EVANS N YORK, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF E.H. BURRITT. ENTERED ACCORDING TO ACT OF CONGRESS IN THE YEAR 1856 BY E.J. HUNTINGTON IN THE CLERKS OFFICE OF THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. THE PAPER HAS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF YELLOWING, AGAIN JUST A LITTLE, & THERE IS A LITTLE BROWNISH COLOR ON THE JANUARY ONE, NO SURE WHAT IT IS, BUT I AM NOT GOING TO TOUCH IT, SEE LAST PICTURE. THEY ARE IN REALLY NICE CONDITION, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THEIR AGE, SO PLEASE LOOK AT ALL THE PICTURES & JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. MUST SEE TOO APPRECIATE THEM. THE PICTURES REALLY DO NOT DO ANY JUSTICE FOR THEM. SO BUY WITH CONFIDENCE, THANKS FOR LOOKING, & PLEASE FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME IF YOU NEED ANYMORE INFO. I DO NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT THESE PIECES OTHER THAN WHAT I READ OFF OF THEM. THEY WERE KEPT FLAT IN A BOX, SO THAT CERTAINLY HELPED THEM A LOT. I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S BUSINESS. I HOPE THEY WILL FIND THEIR WAY TO SOMEONE THAT WILL APPRECIATE THEM, OR MAYBE SOME TYPE OF MUSEUM FOR THE HISTORY BEHIND THEM.
