The story
Chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea-monster, the princess Andromeda was saved at the last moment by the hero Perseus — and the whole cast of the myth was set together in the sky: the maiden, her rescuer, the beast, and her boastful parents. Within her figure lies the Andromeda Galaxy, a faint smudge to the naked eye that is in truth a trillion suns, the most distant thing a human can see unaided. A rescue, and a window onto infinity.

About this reproduction
- A faithful reproduction of a public-domain chart held by The great celestial atlases · Linda Hall Library — the work is centuries out of copyright.
- Printed to order on EMA matte art paper, 200gsm. Framed pieces sit in a box frame under acrylic, with no mount (gold-ink editions on specialist press).
- Color-managed to the source scan; we correct nothing and invent nothing.
- Ships in 5–10 business days, rolled in a heavy-wall tube (framed pieces ship flat-packed).
- If it arrives less than perfect, we reprint or refund — your choice.
Why our charts cost more than a poster: we print from the highest-resolution scans in existence, at sizes where the engraving itself becomes visible — the gold figures, the tiny stars, the cartouches — on a matte sheet that shows every line without glare.
