This print, titled "Small Dragon, 1678" is a remarkable piece of art created by the renowned artist Athanasius Kircher. The print is extracted from his groundbreaking work Mundus subterraneus, published in Amsterdam in 1678.

This print serves as a testament to Kircher's artistic prowess and his dedication to exploring scientific knowledge during his time.
