Vintage Planisphere Celestial Map by Peter Apian Cushion
Vintage illustration astronomy and celestial image featuring an antique star chart map of the northern sky. This planisphere is from the astronomical atlas Astronomicum Caesareum by Petrus Apianus (Peter Apian) (1495-1552). Includes constellations of mythical creatures and people, signs of the Zodiac, Ursa Major (bear), Hydra and Pegasus, the winged horse. This atlas was noteable for its highly intricate wheel charts (volvelles), of which this planisphere is an example. A volvelle involves several layers of paper placed over each other, which are then rotated to produce the desired result. In this case, to show the appearance of the night sky for a given latitude, time and date. Peter Apian was a German humanist, known for his works in mathematics, astronomy and cartography. The lunar crater Apianus is named in his honour. Created in 1540.

Would be better if you could select several photos at once from your own saved photos to save them on to the website rather than one at a time.
Great quality in fact ordered 2 more of a different photo layout design for Christmas presents. Photos and photos of drawings my young nieces did on this cushion turned out perfect or I should say ‘purrrrrfect’ as they were all photos of their cats

Well made, exceeded expectations in that respect. Printed on a polyester base, which I thought might not look as good as cotton, but it doesn’t have a synthetic feel about it at all. Came out better than expected, exactly as the image I’d selected, which was a stock image, not one I’d uploaded myself. Very satisfied with colours, brightness, clarity.
