Map of the sky in the form of curves and counter-curves in which are inscribed the names of the different constellations and stars. This engraving was offered by Blaeu as a testimony of friendship. The astronomical observations of the planisphere were rectified in 1650. The sheet and the plate mark are trimmed in the upper part. Two watermarks: one represents a bird (probably an eagle) and the other looks like an inscription. Not mentionned in the bibliography
