An 1841 German treatise by Johann Rudolph Wild, published in Cassel, examining how alchemy relates to magic and astrology, with lithographed plates of alchemical symbols for a scholarly readership. The two plates pair numbered panels of planetary glyphs, hand and circle diagrams, and star-chart-like symbol clusters with tabulated signs, offering a designer strict geometric linework, circular diagram layouts and compact symbol grids to draw from.
