Questions About Reading By Lamplight
- What is a reading stand?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertSeptember 28, 2021A reading stand is a stand to position the book or any reading material in an orthopedically upright position for reading.

Find a collection of antique and vintage reading stands on 1stDibs today.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To read an armillary sphere, first familiarize yourself with the parts. The ring along the base is the horizon. On the armillary, the outermost ring is the meridian, while the largest inner ring is the ecliptic ring. Locate the date on the ecliptic ring and place a marker that represents the sun on it. Turn the sphere to trace the path the sun will take on that day. Use the markings on the horizon to find the ascension of the sunrise, and the ecliptic ring to find out the elevation of the sun at noon. Find a collection of armillary spheres on 1stDibs.
