Engraving of a chemist seated and pointing with a rod while an assistant stands by a furnace in a cluttered laboratory with hanging reptiles and glass flasks.

A chemist's laboratory, with the apparatus numbered for a key. Engraving, 1748.

An engraved laboratory scene showing a seated chemist in a long robe holding a pointer toward a standing assistant beside a brick furnace. Dried reptiles and hanging apparatus fill the ceiling, and glass vessels line the shelves and floor. The banner across the top reads as a second view of practical chemistry in a 1747 magazine.
