5000, Educa, Celestial Planisphere, Cellarius

This is one of the finest jigsaw puzzles by Educa. The title is Celestial Planisphere, by the cartographer Andreas Cellarius. It is part of his Harmonia Macrocosmica star atlas. Educa produced this version in 1996 and it is now very difficult to find. There is, however, an earlier version from 1990 which is even rarer.

This puzzle is like NEW, with all the pieces SEALED inside the original plastic bag. The box is in good condition, but it has some wear, a tear on a corner, and several bumps that have perforated the cardboard, as you can see in the photographs.

Pomegranate produced a 1000 piece version of this map with the title Map of the Heavens.
