Signs & Symbols

The working signs of almanacs, prescriptions and accounts, cast as type from 5 to 12 point: the zodiac, the planets, apothecary weights, commercial and mathematical marks. Smaller sets give crochet chart stitches and map-making pieces, and four labelled globe diagrams come from Baltimore 1832.
