A Map of the Stars in Winter - Northern Hemisphere

This map was inspired by antique circular celestial maps that often picked out the constellations as images.  The map is annotated with stories.  Science, folklore and history collide to give a grand sweeping view of the skies.  Our own voices and those from the past always mix to create a broad understanding of place.  I'm hoping that I'll have a better idea of the stars next time I look up on a clear night....
The original was created in white ink on blue mountboard with silver leaf gilding.
