This map was in Atlas Coelestis (page 22), a collaboration between Johann Gabriel Doppelmayr (1677-1750), an astronomer, cartographer, and a professor of mathematics from Nuremberg and Johann Baptist Homann (1664-1724), a renowned German mapmaker of the late 17th and early 18th century. Mounted in a vintage black and gold painted wood frame (surface wear).
