Solar System Celestial Planets 1884 Stieler antique folio engraved color map Gebeit der Sonne (Solar System) Issued 1884, Gotha Germany by Perthes for Stieler Fine original antique engraved map, with original hand color. Made approximately 130 years ago. Printed in the late-19th century, on quality paper which retains its inherent structural flexibility and soundness.A beautifully engraved and very detailed map of this region.In near VG or better condition, some minor light scattered foxing as typical-- very easy to overlook and scarcely worthy of mention [note: we grade very conservatively and always seek to disclose any noteworthy flaws]. The printed area remains visually pleasing, a nice impression of an interesting and detailed Stieler map.Sheet measures c. 18 1/2" W x 15 1/2" H. Engraved area measures c. 14" W x 13" H. Folio. Original fold line as issued. [16140]Any defects along the sheet edges and in the margins may be seen in the photos. [ note : All old sheets of printed paper possibly have short edge splits. Each sheet has existed for a very long time and has probably been handled repeatedly in the course of it's existence. It has a history unique to it as an object. Most of the time any edge splits are short, minor, insignificant and have been closed- either long ago or more recently with small pieces of archival tape. Most often these splits are trivial and easy to overlook visually. Basically, they would not significantly affect the piece adversely.] The item is offered as seen. Please look carefully and make your decision knowing this antique image is nice, but it is not in perfect "like new" condition. However, with whatever flaws it possesses, it remains entirely worthy of ownership and inclusion in any related collection. We feel it will prove very pleasing to its new owner.
