Lined up on a single chart page, these numbered illustrations walk the reader through the stages of distillation, each one keyed to a short caption. Early distilling apparatus of this kind shows up in European alchemical and pharmaceutical manuals, where the still was used to purify liquids and extract essences long before it became a standard tool for making spirits. The numbering suggests a teaching diagram meant to be read step by step, and it is worth noticing how the captions tie each drawing to a specific part of the process, such as heating, vapor rising, and condensing back into liquid.
