The Green Lion

[Paul Ferguson]

"In 1550, a printer in Frankfurt published a collection of alchemical texts with twenty woodcuts. One of them would become the most reproduced image in the history of Western alchemy. It shows a lion, its body green, its mane flowing, its jaws clamped around a radiant sun with a human face. Beneath the image, an inscription: 'I am the true green and Golden Lion without cares. In me all the secrets of the Philosophers are hidden'.”
