Mutus liber,
Mutus liber is a wordless alchemical picture book published in Geneva around 1702, attributed to Isaac Baulot and aimed at adepts of alchemy. Its plates are engraved emblems of a sun face, winged figures, a glowing egg-shaped vessel and small furnace towers, shown in tidy stacked panels that suggest a sequence; a designer might borrow the symmetrical framing, the radiating sun motif and the strict rhythm of repeated vignettes.
