Not on view

This large folded sheet contains ten illustrations seemingly dedicated to methods of distillation. They are numbered F1 through F10, but are not in order. This may suggest that they were meant to be cut out and pasted into their proper location in a text. Elements in each illustrations are given letters, but the corresponding explanations have not been preserved.
