The Robie version (in which the spelling of "Pisces" is corrected) appears also in the North-American calendar and gentlemen and ladies diary, being an almanack for 1773, by Samuel Stearns (Boston: Edes & Gill and T. & J. Fleet); and with other engravings in that almanac was attributed to Paul Revere in: Brigham, C.S. Paul Revere's engravings (Worcester, Mass., 1954), page 136. Its final appearance seems to have been in Low's almanac for 1779 (J. Gill and T. & J. Fleet), and it thus had evidently remained in the Fleets' possession and use for at least 63 years. Two states of title page noted. In one, the title vignette is surrounded by the names of parts of the body and their associated zodiac signs. In the other, the names of parts of the body are absent.
