Note:
Hand colored engraved transparent Chart, could be held up to the light so that the principal stars would appear as bright points against a darker background identifying constellations in the night sky. The central image of the constellations and Milky Way is surrounded by a calendar scale, as the image shows "he stars visible on any night throughout the year". Magnitudes of the stars are indicated by size of the hole and by varying symbols. Smaller round images to the top and bottom of the print show clusters and nebulae. Brief instructions for use are printed at the bottom.
