Annuario astronomico R. Osservatorio astronomico di Torino, 1909
An 1909 Italian astronomical yearbook issued by the Royal Astronomical Observatory of Turin, a reference almanac for astronomers and navigators. Its one page shows a dense printed grid of apparent star positions tabulated month by month, with right ascension and declination columns set in small type. A designer might take from it the rigid tabular rhythm of numeric columns, month headings and ruled grids as a source of typographic texture.
