Wasn't able to get any pictures, but as research for an upcoming piece I was able to page through a first edition "Uranometria" (1603) this afternoon! Arguably the first truly artistic star atlas, "Uranometria" ("Measuring the Sky") served as the basis for the mural on the ceiling of Grand Central.
