The story
The winged horse, sprung from the blood of the slain Medusa, who carried heroes into battle and struck the fountain of the Muses from the rock with a blow of his hoof. In the sky he flies upside down, marked by the Great Square of Pegasus, four stars forming a vast celestial signpost. Poetry, flight, and inspiration, galloping across the autumn heavens.

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.
