Jamieson 1824 (updated 2025)

In 2013 I bought three mysterious maps. Unmistakably based upon Fortin/Bode, unmistakably English - but also for a while unidentifiable; it took me nine years to identify them.
They are from "An Atlas of Outline Maps of the Heavens" by Alexander Jamieson.
This consisted of 28 charts the same size as those in his Celestial Atlas, depicting the outlines of the constellation figures only, with no stars.
Students were expected to position the stars on the charts for themselves by reference to his Celestial Atlas.
