Extraordinary and extremely rare graphic educational chart showing the earth's orbit on a parallel axis,
with an illuminated description of the seasons and tides.
The chart has translucent sections of early plastic (polymer) which when illuminated bring the Earth's
orbit around the Sun to life. Two hemispheres underneath this phases diagram describe the seasons on
Mercator's Projection and the tides on an azimuthal equidistant projection.
Levi Walter Yaggy (1848-1912) was a successful innovator and publisher based in Chicago. This rare chart
would have been presented as part of his "Physical Atlas" and available to buy within the portfolio, or
individually.
This piece has been framed within an LED lightbox. [CELEST1238]
