The Whole of Nature and the Mirror of Art exhibit was at CHF from July through December 2006, opening in conjuction with the International Conference on the History of Alchemy and Chymistry. Alchemy is exremely well represented in the Neville Collection. There are many of the famous emblem-books, numerous works on chrysopoeia (metallic transmutation), and scores of titles from little-known authors. The images in the exhibition and the catalogue are photoreproductions of engravings from alchemical books published in the 17th century.
