Magia Naturalis, oder Hauß-, Kunst- und Wunder-Buch

An engraving depicting a scholar's study or laboratory. At the top, a large draped banner contains the title text. Below, a man dressed in a fur-trimmed robe and a doublet stands prominently, pointing a sword toward a concave mirror mounted on the left wall. A personified sun with a human face shines through an aperture, its light reflecting off the mirror and focusing through a glass vessel on a table to a point on a stone block below, from which smoke billows. The room is filled with scientific and alchemical apparatus: a globe and a chemical still (alembic) sit on the floor to the left, a set square lies nearby, and a shelf of books is visible on the right wall.
