A GENUINE DATE-STAMPED 1945 EDITION THAT IS NOW 79 YEARS OLDA GUIDE BOOK FOR THE BEGINNER AS WELL AS THE ADVANCEDCONTAINING A LARGE COLLECTION OF ASTROLOGICAL CHARTS, ART, & DIAGRAMSAn absolute gem of a find for anyone interested in divination and the art of astrology. Simply written in a way most anyone can understand this book is a masterpiece of astrological literature! Creating beautiful diagrams, charts, and ancient wisdom. This is a revised and annotated edition of Raphael's "A Guide to Astrology" which played a seminal role in popularizing astrology in the English-speaking world. Reading through Raphael's delineations of factors in a birth chart gives a fascinating glimpse into British society of the late 19th century. In very beautiful condition for this type of age. A couple of pages have some notes and underlining, to them but I think it ads to the patina.

This book really is a window into another time. A stunning edition printed in the UK over 90 years with a gorgeous art deco cover including a beautiful collection of plate pressed etchings."The Red Lily tells of the affair between a woman of the world, married to a politician, with an artist. A trip to Florence (which symbolizes the title) crowns this carnal and mystical union. Soon, jealousy insinuates itself into the lover's heart, and ends the affair. This novel by Anatole France, unique in its genre, now rehabilitated and returned to fashion, is partially autobiographical, since it is based on the, at the first passionate affair, between the author and Mrs. de Caillavet."Anatole France (French: [anatɔl fʁɑ̃s]; born François-Anatole Thibault; 16 April 1844 – 12 October 1924) was a French poet, journalist, and novelist with several best-sellers.
