vintage constellation cards

Ever since i researched inspiration for this invitation design I've been in love with vintage illustrated astronomy charts. These are from a book of 32 hand-colored postcards published around 1825 in London. You can read more about their history and view the full set of cards here.

Love it. Reminds me of the wonderful H.A. Rey Constellation book. I love the stars... Also love seeing what inspires you. I'm old enough to have my own vintage books from childhood years in Paris. Makes me want to dig them out and make some art.

Wow! I want these cards! This is the first time I saw a vintage collection like this. I often see furnitures, shirts, bags, but a card with a vintage constellation design, this is actually my first time to see those and I must admit, I was so attracted. Where can I purchased these cards?
