This is a vintage celestial map depicting the constellations Leo Major and Leo Minor. The central image is a detailed illustration of a lion, representing Leo Major. The lion is depicted in a dynamic pose, with its front paws raised and its body stretched forward, as if in mid-stride. It has a full, flowing mane and a long tail. Scattered across the map are numerous stars of varying sizes, represented by white dots. These stars are connected by faint lines, forming the outlines of the constellations. The names of the stars and constellations are written in elegant, old-fashioned script. Around the lion and stars are the names of surrounding constellations, including Coma Berenices, Sextans, Crater, Ursa Major, and Cancer. The map is framed by a simple, rectangular border. The overall style is reminiscent of antique astronomical charts, with a focus on detailed illustration and elegant typography.
