Vijfde deel van een zesdelige reeks kaarten van de sterrenhemel aan het eind van het jaar 1730 1742

This 1742 celestial chart, part of a six-part series, depicts a section of the night sky as observed at the end of the year 1730. The anonymous artist's detailed depiction of constellations, including the prominent figure of the Centaur, demonstrates the increasing interest in scientific exploration during the 18th century. This detailed astronomical map, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, provides valuable insight into the history of cartography and celestial mapping.
