What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce
A very scarce work.
In the original German.
A unique planisphere, comprising of a cardboard board with a rotating PVC disc.
A useful moveable guide to reading the stars, an invaluable aid for stargazers. The first planisphere is thought to have been made in 1624 by German astronomer Jacob Bartsch.
The planisphere is for Berlin, and shows the stars as they appear at different times of the year.
This planisphere was produced while Germany was still split, this work being printed in East Germany.
The reverse of the card here provides useful instructions on how to use the planisphere.
Produced by Arnold Zenkert, a German astronomer and sundial specialist, who directed the Urania Planetarium in Potsdam.
Undated, dated from WorldCat.
Condition
In the original publisher's binding, comprising of a cardboard board with a rotating PVC disc. Externally, smart. A little light edge wear to the card. Light age-toning and a few light marks to the card. Small chip to the card. PVC disc is strongly attached to the card with no damage, only a few minor scratches, and would be expected.
Very Good Indeed
