Magnetic Power of the North Star, Robert Fludd Engraving

A woodcut-style engraving shows a radiating star at the top, with a long tapering band of hatched lines running down to a sphere labeled Magnes at the bottom. Latin captions along the band mark the ferrum and the weakened, dissipated force, set against a plain white page.
