An Original Vintage Unfolded Polish Special Poster (measures 33" x 47 1/4" [84 x 120 cm]) (Learn More) Nicolaus Copernicus was a mathematician and astronomer from the 1490s to 1543. Copernicus was born, lived and died in Royal Prussia, a region that had been part of the Kingdom of Poland since 1466. Besides being a mathematician and astronomer, he also obtained a doctorate in canon law, and was a physician, classics scholar, translator, governor, diplomat and economist. He is best-known for formulating a model of the universe that placed the Sun rather than the Earth at the center. The publication of Copernicus' model in his book (On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres), just before his his passing in 1543 at the age of 70, was a major event in the history of science, triggering the Copernican Revolution and making an important contribution to the Scientific Revolution. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Please note that this is one of the first 226 items we are currently auctioning in this set of auctions are mostly non-movie posters (and most of them are from countries outside the U.S.). It occurred to us that it makes far more sense to auction these in our auction of "special posters" (which also includes lots of non-movie posters) than in our auctions of "oversized rolled" items that include many U.S. posters (like banners, 40x60s, etc). This item needs to be shipped in a tube over 30" (perhaps much longer). WHILE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THIS POSTER CAN BE COMBINED WITH THE 773 SPECIAL POSTERS THAT FOLLOWS THE FIRST 226, THERE ARE ALSO MANY CASES WHERE IT CAN NOT BE COMBINED. The main reason for this would be if you buy many of the regular posters and a small number of the very oversized ones. If they were combined, the very oversized one would surely become damaged, so in that case, it would need to go in its own tube, and please bear this in mind before bidding on this very oversized poster. Condition: good. The poster has creases, defects, areas of paper loss and tears of varying lengths along parts of some edges and several of the larger tears are repaired with restoration tape from the back. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
