Its world, rich in symbols—angels, polyhedra, Masonic and alchemical references, hourglasses, and magic squares—has sparked passionate studies and inspired many artists, most notably Salvador Dalí, who often referenced it. In order to make this exceptional old engraving accessible, the Artfever gallery commissioned a new edition: the plate was engraved by J. Boiteux from the copy kept at the National Library of France and the print was made in the traditional way, hand-pulled on a hand press, in an intaglio workshop. Excellent condition This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
