Description

This vibrant ca. 1930 star map by Elizabeth Shurtleff presents the entire celestial sky as two hemisphere planispheres rendered in rich red, gold, blue, and green. Each hemisphere is populated with boldly illustrated mythological figures and creatures representing the classical constellations — from Orion and Scorpius to Ursa Major and Leo — set against a deep midnight-blue starfield. Informational text panels border the map on all sides, making this a beautiful fusion of scientific astronomy and decorative Art Deco illustration, suited for any space that celebrates the cosmos or the history of cartography.
