A 1597 German alchemical treatise by Heinrich Khunrath, printed in Magdeburg for a scholarly readership of alchemists and physicians, held in the library of C.G. Jung. The four pictures show a coat-of-arms plate with a winged angel and a bearded mask-like ornament, one of them a heraldic panel with shields and a rooster-like crest. The pictures suggest a designer could draw on dense black-line engraving, heraldic shield layouts, and strapwork frames from early modern print.
