Astrology as it is, not as it has been represented : a compendium / with a prefatory address and introduction ; also a view of the history of astrology ... by a cavalry officer.
An 1856 London and New York astrology compendium by Richard James Morrison, writing under the name of a cavalry officer, presenting horoscope charts for historical figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte, George III and Raphael. The pictures are diagrams: square natal charts with zodiac signs, planetary glyphs and degree numbers around a central text panel giving birth dates and latitude. A designer might draw on their diamond-framed layouts and dense symbol typography for geometric or occult-themed pages.
