Antique 1855 Planetary System Map from Sohr Berghaus Atlas by Carl Flemming – Das Planeten System, Earth, Mercury, Jupiter, Halley's Comet

Beautiful, antique map of the Planetary System (Das Planeten System) by Carl Flemming. This is an authentic map taken from the renowned Sohr Berghaus Atlas published in 1855 and NOT a computer reproduction.

See what our solar system and the surrounding area looked like more than 170 years ago. Lots of charming, intricate details and contours, including asteroids, comets, and the astrological chart. All text is in German. Hand-colored. Verso is blank.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
