Richard James Morrison · 1834 · London : Sherwood, Gilbert, and Piper, 1834. · 3 pictures

A London astrological reference compiled by Richard James Morrison under the name Zadkiel and published by Sherwood, Gilbert, and Piper in 1834 for practitioners casting birth charts. The pictures are dense numeric tables of degrees and minutes of north and south latitude, set in ruled columns with small headers, plus one engraved view of the publisher's shopfront with a tall lamp post in the foreground. For a designer the tables offer a dense typographic grid of figures and a nineteenth-century shopfront scene for period street texture.
