Title page for: A. Kircher, Mundus subterraneus, 2nd part, 1664, Anthonie Heeres Siverdtsma, 1664 - 1665 Canvas Print
A woman sits on a stool and writes in a book with images of obelisks. Next to her on the floor are measuring instruments and a second book. Mercury and Apollo bend over her. A putto holds a portrait of Emperor Leopold I. On a pedestal is a statue of Diana of Ephesus. On the wall hangs an image of an alchemical workshop. Through a window there is a view of men working in a mine. Two eagles carrying an apple of the empire in their legs hold up a drapery, on which the title of the book is written. At the bottom of the print are two Greek lines with their translation into Latin on Orpheus, the poet who descended into the underworld after the death of his beloved Eurydice.
