This is a vintage astronomical chart depicting the constellation Scorpio. The chart has a pale yellow background and is framed by a thin, dark border. The central focus is a detailed illustration of a scorpion, rendered in shades of teal and green. The scorpion is depicted with a segmented body, large claws, and a curved tail with a stinger. The illustration is highly detailed, showing the texture of the scorpion's exoskeleton and the individual segments of its body. Overlaid on the illustration are dotted lines connecting stars, forming the constellation's shape. Each star is marked with a small, white star symbol and labeled with a number or letter. The names of neighboring constellations—Ophiuchus, Serpens, Libra, Lupus, Sagittarius, and Ara—are written in elegant script around the edges of the chart. A compass rose is located in the upper left corner, indicating the cardinal directions (E, W, S, N). The chart also includes the title “SCORPIO” at the top and “Pl. 23” in the upper right corner. At the bottom, the text “NORMA EUCLIDIS” is visible, along with the signature “Sid Hall sculpt.” The overall style of the chart is reminiscent of 19th-century astronomical illustrations, with a focus on detailed rendering and elegant typography.
