According to the Encyclopedia of American History most almanacs featured the "man of signs" or "the Anatomy," a crude wood-cut of a human figure, with corresponding links to the signs of the zodiac governing various parts of the body. Benjamin Banneker included one such page in his Almanack and Ephemeris.
