WOW -- I sent that too quick!
I stumbled across this site right afterwards:
http://www.usno.navy.mil/library/rare/rare.html

Dunno why the US Navy has scanned copies of these on the internet, 
but the scan quality is OUTSTANDING!!!

There are excellent copies of Hyginus - Poeticon astronomicon, Atlas 
c�leste de Flamst�ed, Bayer's Uranometria 1661, as well as photo 
plates of the 1882 Venus Transit - wow!

Again, dunno how you are going to present these charts for a show, 
but I doubt you'll find better quality scanned images than these!

G'Luck Mate!
