Description from the seller

Tobias Conrad Lotter, Sphaera Armillaris / Instrumentum artificiale Orrery ab inventore appellatum

Decorative and highly detailed scientific engraving depicting an armillary sphere and an orrery, two key astronomical instruments of the Enlightenment. The Sphaera Armillaris illustrates the celestial circles and zodiac, while the Orrery demonstrates the heliocentric system in mechanical form. Both are finely engraved and with beautiful ORIGINAL hand-color, explanatory text in Latin below.

Dimensions: 48 x 57 cm (engraving), 55,5 x 66 cm (paper).

Very good condition, backside with old annotations.
