[CELLARIUS, Andreas (1596-1665)].  Coeli stellati Christiani hæmisphærum posterius. Amsterdam: "G. Valk et P. Schenk," [1708]. Fine hand-coloured engraved hemispherical star chart, with 2 smaller hemispherical charts in the lower corners, many putti and an allegorical figure of an astronomer in the margins, blank on verso (light stain to right edge), 440 x 520mm., unframed. An earlier version of this impressive star chart was included in Cellarius's Harmonica macrocosmica - one of the greatest celestial atlases ever published - which was first printed in 1660, and re-issued in 1661. This version, identical to it apart from the addition of Valk and Schenk's names in the imprint, was included in Jansson's Atlas Maior of 1708. Kanas Star Maps p.194.
