Genuine Antique Illustration

1856

Maker: Burritt.

Antique celestial illustration of the Great Equatorial Telescope at Harvard University in Cambridge, MA, built in Munich in 1845-6, with a focal length of 22 feet 6 inches. Poor to fair condition, with toning, some spots/stains, tears at the edges that go into the image (archivally repaired), some paper loss, etc. The image is whole and should look fine when matted and framed. Paper is fragile.  Measures approx. 16 x 12 inches. Priced in relation to condition. Image with mat and frame was digitally created- the print does not come with matting or framing. You can add framing to your order in our framing section.
