Das Ende des Zeitalters der Alchemie und der Beginn der iatrochemischen Periode / von Dr. W. Luzi.
A German scholarly monograph by Dr. Willy Luzi, published in Berlin by Hermann Paetel in 1892, on the close of the alchemical age and the start of the iatrochemical period, written for historians of science and chemistry. Its woodcut illustrations show distillation and heating apparatus: a glass alembic with a flame-heated furnace, a water bath holding flasks, and a vessel with flames beneath, drawn in plain black line on a cream ground. A designer might take the tidy, schematic vocabulary of early laboratory equipment for vintage science graphics.
