Alchemical Symbols engraved by Andrew Bell

[Paul Ferguson]

Andrew Bell was an eccentric Scottish engraver best known for co-founding the Encyclopædia Britannica with Colin Macfarquhar. Stories abound regarding this colourful gentleman and it’s said that, despite his small stature (4 feet 6 inches), he deliberately rode the tallest horse in Edinburgh - requiring a ladder to dismount.
