Novum lumen chemicum e naturae fonte et manuali experientia depromptum : cui accessit tractatus de sulphure
A 1677 alchemical treatise by Michał Sędziwój, the Polish alchemist, printed in Latin and published by Sande, held in the C.G. Jung library and aimed at scholars of chemistry and alchemy. The single picture is a decorative printer's initial letter C, its curved stroke framing a dense interior of foliage, scrolls and interlaced knotwork in dark black ink against pale paper, a dense ornamental device a designer could adapt for capitals, borders or monogram work.
