A manual of astrology, or The book of the stars: which contains every requisite illustration of the celestial science; or the art of foretelling future events, by the influences of the heavenly bodies ... Illustrated and exemplified by ... diagrams and three elegant engravings
This is a London astrology manual of 1837, compiled under the pseudonym Raphael for general readers interested in foretelling events from the heavens. Its pictures are plain line diagrams of horoscope charts: square or octagonal wheels with zodiac signs, planetary glyphs and degree numbers set in boxes, with a few house-meaning tables. A designer could draw on their geometric framing, dense symbol typography and aged printed-chart look for mystical or esoteric layouts.
