Leo Joy of Life
Pictures by Sidney HallWords by Evangeline Adams
Sidney Hall's hand-coloured engraving of Leo shows the great lion leaping across a field of stars, with the little lion riding above, and the card says Evangeline Adams's 1927 line about Leos: they understand the joy of life to the full. The art comes from Urania's Mirror, an 1824 London set of constellation cards pierced so the stars shone when held up to the light. For a Leo, born July 23 to August 22.

On the back
The star signs come from Urania's Mirror (London, 1824), a boxed set of 32 hand-coloured constellation cards, pierced so the stars shone when held up to the light. The words come from 1920s astrology books.
