CONSTELLATIONS Constellational map, with the asterism surrounding the zodiacal belt, from Cancer the Crab to Sagittarius, by way of Virgo. Engraving by Boitard, from Lord Shaftesbury, Characteristics of Men, Manners, Opinions, Times, 1713. Distinctive asterisms include Argo, the Centaur, grasping Bestia, and Serpentarius. Please note that the corresponding series of asterisms is continued in another plate, in such a way as to permit overlapping, to form a two-globe image.
