Atlas céleste de Flamstéed, approuvé par l'Académie Royale des Sciences et publié sous le privilège de cette compagnie. Seconde édition.

4to: [8]-30 pl.-40 pp. (a few sm. stains, centerfold of celestial map starting to split, sm. tear in margin pl. 14, dampstains in margin pl.17-18, sl. toned pl. 17-20, ms. notes on p.6).

Second edition, but actually a completely revised edition of Flamsteed's star atlas with all plates re-engraved on a much smaller scale turning the atlas as such into a work with much more aesthetic appeal. Contains 30 double-page astronomical maps by C.E. Voisard et Beaublé depicting constellation figures including 1 star chart of the northern and 2 of the southern hemisphere. Good copy.
Prov. Craveri (ms. note).
