The image consists of five separate anatomical sketches arranged on a single page, rendered in black ink with detailed cross-hatching. Each figure represents the laryngeal structure from different perspectives, with various parts marked by lowercase letters for identification. The figures show the cartilaginous structures, muscles, and the upper section of the trachea, illustrating the complexity of the throat anatomy.
This print is an anatomical plate from Robert Fludd's 'Utriusque Cosmi Maioris Scilicet et Minoris metaphysica, physica atque technica Historia' (1617–1621), illustrating the anatomical focus of the Rosicrucian and Hermetic interest in the 'microcosm'—the human body as a reflection of the larger universe.
