English: This rare hand colored map of the stars was engraved W. G. Evans of New York for Burritt’s 1856 edition of the Atlas to Illustrate the Geography of the Heavens. It represents the Northern night sky in the months of October, November and December. Constellations are drawn in detail and include depictions of the Zodiacal figures the stars are said to represent. Included on this chart are Aquarius (the Water Bearer), Aries (the Ram), Pisces (the Fish), Capricorn (the Sea Goat) and Cetus (the Whale). Chart is quartered by lines indicating the Solstitial and Equinoctial Colures. This map, like all of Burritt’s charts, is based on the celestial cartographic work of Pardies and Doppelmayr.
