Artwork Description

Celestial sphere surrounded by a metal spherical arc measuring 36.7 cm (exterior diameter), 1.7 cm in width, and 0.4 cm thick, which acts as a meridian. The arc features the inscription: Meridien / Degrés d’elevation du Pôle. Each quadrant is graduated and numbered from 0º to 90º. The sphere, 32.7 cm in diameter, is covered with pasteboard and printed, inked paper. It is Ptolemaic in type – that is, with the Earth as its centre. The language used is French. The constellations are shown using the typical names and classical figures, and are coloured. At the top a horizontal ring can be seen, divided up into hours and using Roman numerals and a brass needle. Sphere with 12 spindles. An inscription located between the constellations of Bouvier and Le Dragon gives the authorship of the chart: A Paris/ chez Delamarche géographe / Rue du Foin S. Jacq. au Collège de Me Gervais, while in the bottom left corner we can see De la Haye fils / Scrips. The title, situated between the consolations of Boussole and Hydre reads thus: Globe celeste / dont la position des Etoiles/ est reduite a l
