The 'Pandora series', eighteen woodcuts which were printed in Hieronymus Reusner's Pandora, das ist, die edleste Gab Gottes, oder der Werde unnd Heilsamme Stein der Weisen, ...

The images influenced many later alchemical emblems, including some of those in the renouned Rosarium philosophorum series.

The woodcuts have here been coloured by Adam McLean.
