Digitally Engraved Specialty Reproduction

 

High-quality hand-printed and hand-colored reproduction of an antique print showing a Ptolemaic Armillary, a type of Armillary Sphere (a model of objects in the sky,) wherein the Earth is at the center of the model. Made using a combination of modern technology and traditional methods, wherein an original is scanned, its likeness is digitally etched onto an engraving plate, then the plate is used to print the image in the traditional way, with a printing press. The print is then hand colored. Page measures approximately 22.25" x 15" (H x W) overall. For other reproductions made in this method, please see the left side bar category "Digitally Engraved Specialty Reproductions".
