A popular astronomy handbook by William Tyler Olcott, published by G.P. Putnam's Sons in New York and London in 1911, gathering constellation myths and observing notes for amateur stargazers. Line plates pair dotted star maps and connecting lines with outline figures — Ophiuchus wrestling serpents, the Gemini twins, a spear-bearing hunter, the winding river Eridanus — usable as star charts, mythic silhouettes, or diagram overlays.
