Origin of Discoveries Attributed to the Moderns

A white rectangular label is pasted in the center of a page of marbled paper with purple and blue organic shapes. The label features a central circular seal. Around the border of the seal, the words Hermetic Philosophy original: "PHILOSOPHIA HERMETICA" are printed in a serif font. Within the seal is a blue oval depicting a pelican in her piety. This is a white pelican standing in a nest, feeding its chicks with blood from its own breast. This image is a traditional symbol of sacrifice and the alchemical work of transformation. Above the bird, golden rays of light descend from a yellow sun. At the bottom of the oval is a small white shield featuring a red cross with four red roses in the corners. This is the classic emblem of the Rose Cross or Rosicrucianism. A single handwritten letter E appears in the upper left corner of the white label.
