One of several 19thc or earlier maps that I will be listing today, please see other auctions. This is an 1856 Constellation Map (Map VII) by F. J. Huntingdon. The Flying Fish, Painters Easel, Sword Fish, Phoenix, Toucana, Water Snake, Bird of Paradise, Peacock, The Altar, Lupus, The Centaur, The Cross and The Indian Fly...etc. Sight size of the map measures 14" x 15" and is framed in acid free matting and linen tape. Has some soiling and several small tears around the margins. My late father was a collector and picture framer, I will guarantee the map is being preserved with the current framing. Handcoloring to the calendar dial only, rose. It appears as though these retail around $295 each online, so $125.00 framed should be a steal. Thanks much for looking, please email with any questions. Buyer pays actual shipping within CONUS - probably to the tune of $20-25.
