All Our Maps and Posters Are Made in the USA--------------------------------------------The prints show the night sky, in a full representation that contains all the stars that can be seen from any point on earth, at any time of the year. The first plate, Coelistellati Christiani Haemisphaerium Posterius, shows the sky as seen on the Spring equinox, and the second plate, Coelistellati Christiani Haemisphaerium Prius, shows the sky as seen on the Fall equinox. Each plate contains two smaller representations of the sky as seen from the poles on this equinox.This celestial chart presents the constellations according to Christian symbolism. The view of the constellations is based on the work of the early 17th-century astronomer, Julius Schiller, who sought to replace the traditional pagan symbols with ones derived from Judeo-Christian sources. Schiller replaced the zodiacal constellations with the twelve apostles, the constellations north of the zodiac by figures from the New Testament and the constellations south of the zodiac by figures from the Old Testament.Instead of being projected from the pole, the two maps are centered on the vernal equinox and the ecliptic bisects the map instead of encircling it. The following major constellations are shown as follows:Gemini = James (Jacobus), son of Zebedee Cancer = St. John Leo = St. Thomas Virgo = St. James (Jacobus) the Less Libra = St. Phillip Scorpio = St. Bartholomew Centauri = Abraham and Isaac The Argonaut = Noah's Ark Canis Minor = King David These maps comes with a white border around the image --------------------------- -How are the prints shipped?
