This print showcases the intricate and enigmatic artwork titled "Alchemical Allegory: The Philosophers Egg, from Srutinium Chymicum" by Michael Majer. Created in 1687, this illustration is featured in a late 19th-century publication on the history of magic. The image depicts a mesmerizing scene filled with symbolism and mysticism.

Surrounding it are various alchemical tools and symbols, hinting at the complex processes involved in this ancient practice. The lithograph captures every minute detail of Majer's original work, showcasing his skillful craftsmanship and attention to detail. The German School artist who reproduced this engraving successfully brings forth the essence of seventeenth-century alchemy through their meticulous rendering. This print not only serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts but also offers insight into an era when superstition and belief in mystical practices were prevalent.
