Engraving of a radiant cloud over a tower of figures, with four cloud-framed heads in the corners and a banner of text.

A black-and-white engraving of a cosmic scene: a cloud with radiating rays releases a long inscribed banner above a tower-like structure of figures. Four cloud-framed heads sit in the corners, labeled with compass directions, and small winged figures scatter across the circular landscape below. The museum record attributes it to Robert Fludd's 1631 treatise, which the image does not itself confirm.

Español: Integrum morborum mysterium (Robert Fludd, 1631)

Un grabado en blanco y negro de una escena cósmica: una nube con rayos radiantes suelta una larga pancarta con texto sobre una estructura de figuras similar a una torre. Cuatro cabezas enmarcadas en nubes ocupan las esquinas, rotuladas con puntos cardinales, y pequeñas figuras aladas se dispersan por el paisaje circular. El registro del museo atribuye la obra al tratado de Robert Fludd de 1631, lo que la imagen no confirma por sí sola.

Português: Integrum morborum mysterium (Robert Fludd, 1631)

Uma gravura em preto e branco de uma cena cósmica: uma nuvem com raios radiantes libera uma longa faixa com texto acima de uma estrutura de figuras semelhante a uma torre. Quatro cabeças emolduradas por nuvens ocupam os cantos, rotuladas com pontos cardeais, e pequenas figuras aladas se espalham pela paisagem circular. O registro do museu atribui a obra ao tratado de Robert Fludd de 1631, o que a imagem por si só não confirma.
