Constellations Part 4- October, November, December
A digitally remastered print from a renowned celestial chart series first published in 1835—a landmark collaboration between astronomer E.H. Burritt and engraver W.G. Evans. Together, they created The Geography of the Heavens, a dramatic atlas that blended classical mythology with modern science to bring the stars within reach for a generation of Americans.
Burritt—often called the “Carl Sagan” of his day—was a gifted popularizer of astronomy. His charts paired the precise positions of stars and planets with the mythological stories that gave them meaning, bridging science and storytelling in a way that still resonates. Each chart invites the viewer to see the cosmos not just as a map, but as a narrative—where motion, myth, and meaning converge.
The apex of 19th century cartographic excellence, engraving handcraft, and classical creativity unite in this digitally remastered print, in enhancement of its rare and historical original. One of a four-part set of celestial charts originally published by the distinguished E.J. Huntington, 1835 and engraved by W.G. Evans, New York under the direction of E.H. Burritt.
