Description
This alchemy illustration is from the 1552 book 'Destillierbuch der rechten Kunst,' by Hieronymus Brunschwig. It catalogues pages of helpful information on plants and their useful properties. Alchemy was the pseudo-scientific predecessor of chemistry. Among other pursuits, alchemists searched for formulas that would turn base metals into gold. They sought wisdom and the secret to immortality.
