Fasciculus unterschiedlicher alten raren und wahren philosophischen Schrifften vom Stein der Weisen ...
A 1719 German alchemical anthology of old philosophical writings on the Philosopher's Stone, compiled by Christoph von Hellwig and published by Johann Andreas Grimm, drawn from the library of C.G. Jung. The two pictures are a dark-ground ex libris bookplate with a winged angel, shield and gold scrollwork, and a crisp black woodcut urn of foliage and fruit with a banded collar. A designer could take the bold black-and-ochre heraldic layering from the bookplate and the dense, stylized botanical ornament from the woodcut.
