Bode 1801

One of the most beautiful Celestial atlases is Johann Elert Bode's masterpiece "Uranographia".
The atlas is nowadays alsmost "unobtainable" and single maps are very expensive, but we are lucky as the great French popularizor and astronomer Camille Flammarion added smaller prints in one of his most beautiful books: "Les étoiles et les curiosités du ciel".
The Dutch translation was called "Het Rijk der Sterren" and had them on a larger scale. These are from the third printing of 1907.
