This famous alchemical engraving by Wolfgang Kilian from the 17th century titled “Auri Potabilis Chimice Praeparati”, which translates to “The Chemical Preparation of Drinkable Gold (The Golden Elixir)”. This illustration is taken from the alchemical medical manuscript Microcosmus Hypochondriacus by Malachias Geiger (1652).
