Missing Illustration

Quoted text:

There are many ways to count the parts of the human body. Astrology, for instance, divides it into two parts, from the head, ruled by Aries, to the feet, ruled by Pisces. Each part of the body thus corresponds to one of the 12 zodiacal-calendrical signs—that is, to a constellation which ruled one month of the year.

It is awkward to count on full parts of the body. For such purposes the digits are preferable. But even here, there are many ways to count digits. The count follows not the number of fingers or parts of the body, but what is being counted.

There was a note here about illustrations originally included as a separate paragraph that we omitted. Can you help us find this illustration/these illustrations? (See also: Zodiacal Man image request.)

The note was:
