Vintage Planisphere Celestial Map by Peter Apian Binder
Vintage illustration astronomy and celestial image featuring an antique star chart map of the northern sky. This planisphere is from the astronomical atlas Astronomicum Caesareum by Petrus Apianus (Peter Apian) (1495-1552). Includes constellations of mythical creatures and people, signs of the Zodiac, Ursa Major (bear), Hydra and Pegasus, the winged horse. This atlas was notable for its highly intricate wheel charts (volvelles), of which this planisphere is an example. A volvelle involves several layers of paper placed over each other, which are then rotated to produce the desired result. In this case, to show the appearance of the night sky for a given latitude, time and date. Peter Apian was a German humanist, known for his works in mathematics, astronomy and cartography. The lunar crater Apianus is named in his honour. Created in 1540.

I love my antique looking binder. It is durable and can take a lot of paper. Each one of my families will have approximately 500 pages. The design looks like an antique book. I can't wait to put this binder on display.

A gift for my best friend from childhood. The personalization was an excellent feature. The colors looked exactly as I expected. Printing was perfect.

I bought this gift for my girlfriend. She loves to cook and has been saving her favorite family recipes to create binders for both of her children of their traditional family dishes. She loved it, absolutely loved it. She wants to order more, I didn't realize she'd fill it up so quickly, it's a massive binder but she had hundreds of recipes. I will likely order her another one for Valentines day - this made a great Christmas present. The quality is excellent. Very professional. I was impressed and so was she.
