I am the happy owner of copper gravures with constellations from the 17th, 18th and 19th Century.

These maps, most of them hand coloured, are from the atlases of Jean Fortin (1750-1831) "Atlas Céleste de Flamstéed, publié en 1776", edited by Joseph Jérome le Français de Lalande & Pierre Mechain, second edition, 1776, or third edition, 1795, or from the Portuguese version by Francisco Antonio Ciera and Gomes Villas-Boas, 1804, or from the atlases of Johann Elert Bode (1747-1826) "Vorstellung der Gestirne auf XXXIV Tafeln", 1782/1805. Furthermore I have some maps of the atlas of Christian Friedrich Goldbach (1763-1811) "Neuester Himmels-Atlas" (1799/1803), some maps of the "Celestial Atlas" (1822) and "An Atlas of Outline Maps of the Heavens" (1824) of Alexander Jamieson, and also some maps, and two complete copies, of the "Vollständiger Himmels-Atlas" (1835) of Karl Friedrich Vollrath Hoffmann. I also have the star atlas published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge (1851).
In 2013 and 2014 I purchased a few maps of the Atlas Coelestis of Flamsteed (1781 edition).

Very special are also some maps of Johann Bayer's Uranometria (1661 edition) that I bought in 2014 and 2016.
