This image is a detailed illustration depicting what appears to be an alchemical or early chemical laboratory setup. The image features two brick structures, both with arched compartments at their bases.

On the left side:

• There is a pot on top of the structure containing three round objects, likely alchemical vessels, supported by a perforated surface.
• Below this structure, to the left, there is a vessel resembling an alembic, which was commonly used in distillation processes.

On the right side:

• The structure is topped with a large pot containing a conical, funnel-like apparatus.
• Flames are illustrated coming out from different sections of the structure, indicating an active heating process.
• Below this, there is a vessel positioned on a stand within an arched compartment, likely to collect distillate or another substance.

Each pot also has a lid shown above, suggesting they can be covered during the process.

Notably, there is a stamp in the bottom center reading "Harvard College."

This is an antique black and white illustration featuring early cooking apparatuses. On the left, there is a large pot with a lid sitting on a cookstove made of brick; it's designed to hold the pot above a firebox where wood or similar fuel would burn to provide heat. There are a couple of handles sticking out from the sides of the pot, likely for handling it when hot. Below the pot, there is an arched opening within the brickwork where firewood or other materials to sustain the fire could be stored. To the side of this arched opening, a simple bellows is illustrated, used to supply additional air to the flames to increase their intensity.

On the right side, there is another cooking setup with a similar brick structure. A rounded pot with two handles is standing on a grate over an open flame, and there is an empty alcove underneath. The firebox is illustrated with flames licking up the sides of the pot, depicting the process of heating.

Above both structures are separate illustrations of pot lids, which appear to have handles for easy lifting.

The image has a stamp or a mark that reads "Harvard College," which suggests that this image might be from the collection of Harvard University. The ink is faded in some areas, indicating the image's age, and the paper seems to have the texture and wear characteristic of old documents. It has a didactic feel, perhaps from a historical text explaining old cooking methods or from a catalog of historical equipment.

This appears to be a historical technical illustration showing various distillation or cooking apparatus. The image shows two brick furnaces or ovens with cooking vessels on top. At the top of the image are two lid-like covers shown in profile. The left furnace appears to have a pot with round objects inside it, while the right furnace shows a larger vessel with a conical top or cover. There are flames illustrated coming from openings in the brick structures, suggesting these are active heating elements. The style of the drawing suggests it may be from an old scientific or technical manual, possibly dating from the Renaissance or early modern period. There's a small pink stamp visible at the bottom of the image indicating it's from Harvard College's collection.

The image shows various sketches or illustrations of kitchen pots and utensils. There are sketches of covered pots or cauldrons of different sizes and shapes, some with handles. The pots are sitting on what appear to be brick fireplaces or stoves, with flames emerging from underneath. The sketches have a rough, hand-drawn quality and look like concept sketches or plans for constructing these cooking vessels and their accompanying stoves or heating elements. The illustration style suggests these may be fairly old designs or concepts.
