The Story in the Margin
In 1647 the astronomer Johannes Hevelius published Selenographia, the first true atlas of the Moon. Grinding his own lenses and drawing what he saw through the telescope, he mapped the lunar mountains and craters with a care no one had managed before — a founding work of modern astronomy.

The customer service here answered me on a Sunday. I bought this for Hevelius's Moon Map and got far more than I paid for.
Thank you so much, this made our morning. Enjoy it, and send a photo if you ever feel like it.
I have no real complaints and one small wish. The scan behind Hevelius's Moon Map is clean, with no obvious artifacts. I have bought two more since this one arrived. It has been a pleasure to have around.
My whole family has opinions about the house and everyone agreed on this one. The clarity of Hevelius's Moon Map makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday.
I have bought a lot of art online and this is the first time it looked exactly like the listing. The scale works perfectly for Hevelius’s Moon Map and nothing feels cramped. It came with a handwritten thank you that made the whole thing feel personal. The quality would hold up next to things costing three times as much. ⭐
I wanted something for the upstairs hallway that nobody else would have, and this is it. The smallest marks in Hevelius's Moon Map are still visible, which is the entire point. The colors are richer and warmer than a screen can show. This one is staying with us a long time.
