Complexion is a 1534 German astrology book printed at Mainz by Peter Jordan, offering readers a way to learn their natural temperament and character from their birth sign and hour. The woodcuts pair a central roundel of a zodiac or planetary scene with flanking figures of men, women, and children in period dress, set beside dense blackletter text, showing how a designer might combine framed medallion images with decorative border figures and heavy gothic type.
