Rational Thoughts on the Powers of Human Understanding (German Logic)

A full-page engraving depicts a symbolic scene. From a mass of dark, billowing clouds at the top right, a hand reaches out to hold a balance scale by its handle. The two pans of the scale hang evenly balanced over a vast landscape. A long, fluttering ribbon winds through the sky above the scales, containing the Latin motto "Discernit pondera rerum" original: "Discernit pondera rerum" meaning "It distinguishes the weights of things.". Below the celestial elements is a detailed landscape consisting of rolling hills, dense copses of trees, and a small settlement of houses in the middle distance. The foreground shows rocky or uneven ground where the artist's signature is inscribed.

Liebe made this Liebe refers to the engraver, Christian Gottlieb Liebe.
