Lovely antique engraved celestial constellation chart with original outline hand color.
The stars are acutally different and correspond to a key at top right which ranks them according to their visible brightness.
Some light scattered foxing which blends in visually with the stars and is thus easy to overlook, minor light surface age wear and toning as typical, overall the image is clean, well preserved and very attractive.
