Vintage diagram with geometric constructions and labeled points.

The image is a vintage diagram, likely from a mathematical or scientific text. It features two distinct geometric constructions arranged vertically. The top construction (labeled '21') shows a circle with a cross inscribed within it. The circle is intersected by horizontal and vertical lines that extend beyond its circumference, forming a coordinate-like system. Points on the circle are labeled with letters 'c', 'd', 'e', and 'f'. The bottom construction (labeled '22') is more complex. It features a larger, overarching shape resembling a pointed oval or a stylized leaf. Within this shape are two intersecting circles. Lines connect various points on these circles and the outer shape, creating a network of intersecting lines. Points are labeled with letters 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', and 'm'. Both constructions are drawn with fine, dark lines on a slightly aged, off-white paper. There are some smudges and imperfections on the paper, adding to the vintage feel. The bottom right corner of the image has the letters 'AVI' printed in a small font. The overall impression is that of a detailed, hand-drawn illustration from an older scientific or mathematical text.
