Hermès “Hemisphaerium coeli boreale”

Silk scarf by Loic Dubigeon (1998). "Hemisphaerium coeli boreale" literally means "Map of the Northern Hemisphere's starry sky." The design is taken from antique geographical atlases of the 1700s, where constellations were indeed depicted in such a "cartoony" manner using characters. "Hemisphaerium coeli boreale" is highly valued among collectors not only for its beauty but also for being an almost exact re-issue of the 1937 "Zodiac" scarf.
