Fortin 1776

I am the happy owner of some copper gravures with constellations from 1776.
These maps, some of them hand coloured, are from the atlas of Jean Fortin (1750-1831) "Atlas
Céleste de Flamstéed, publié en 1776", edited by Joseph Jérome le Français de Lalande & Pierre
Mechain, second edition, Paris, Lamarch 1776.
There are actually four editions of this atlas, published resp. in 1776, 1778, 1782 and 1789.
