Print (Engraving) of a Chemical or Alchemical Laboratory, Entitled 'A Second View of Practical Chymistry ...', from the Universal Magazine, London, 1748

Engraving issued to accompany an article in the Universal Magazine about 'Practical Chymistry'. Shows a laboratory with various different designs of stills, furnaces, and glass vessels, ancillary apparatus including tongs, crucibles, and mortar-and-pestle, exotic animals and plants hanging from the ceiling, and the chemist and his assistant; the chemist is seated and holds a pointing stick (similar to the teacher in the related print 41000). The apparatus is labelled with numbers and letters and so was described in the accompanying article; otherwise the scene appears archaic and stylised.

Has been folded, so comes from the magazine.
