I am the happy owner of a remarkable star atlas publised in 1799 (and 1803). It is the "Neuester Himmels-Atlas" ("Latest Atlas of the Heavens") by Christian Friedrich Goldbach (1763-1811).
This first edition of 1799 had an unchanged reprint in 1803; according to the seller, map 5, 7, 9, 11, 14, 18, 21, 24 and 26 shown in this galley are actually of this edition. Of 16 and 22, I don't know.
Al the others are from a complete atlas of the 1799 edition I acquired in 2026.

There are three aspects that make these maps interesting:
1. The maps show white stars on a black background (plate 2 - 27).
2. The method of printing: the copper plates of plate 2 - 27 were printed in relief (with the ink on the surface), other atlases of this era are printed in intaglio (i.e. with the ink down in the engraved lines and the surface wiped clean).
3. The atlas not only has the maps shown with the constellations drawn on it, but also without )plate 2 - 27). Remarks: I only show the maps with the constellations.

I have added to the original plates (left side) also an inverted image (right side), in order to make the images easier to study.
This immediately shows how difficult this printing technique must have been, because the outlines are not so well defined and crisp compared to the atlases of Fortin, Ciera/Villas-Boas and Bode.

I RECOMMEND VIEWING THE MAPS IN THEIR ORIGINAL SIZE!

In 2013 Albireo-Verlag issued a beautiful facsimile (only 300 copies) of this Atlas!

Anno 2026, there are still some copies left. So if you're interested - please hurry!
