Eines scharfsinnigen Chymici hinterlassene Gedanken von Verbesserung der Metallen oder naturgegründete und experimentirte Metallurgie
A German alchemical and metallurgical treatise printed in 1757 by Georg Bauer, drawn from the Jung library, whose title promises experimental metallurgy. The single picture is a small woodcut tailpiece: a classical bust of a woman rising from a scrolled cartouche, flanked by curling leafy stems and rosettes. A designer could take from it the compact symmetrical vignette, where a central portrait is framed by foliage and a carved bracket, as a model for ornament dividers or emblem-style headers.
