Scala Descensionis Virtutum Occultarum Inferiora [The ladder of descent of occult powers to the lower world] is a large engraving issued in 1662.
It was created by the engraver Jakob van der Heyden [1573-36], so this must be a reprint or else Jakob van der Heyden's design was not engraved till some years after his death.
It sums up much of the alchemical/hermetic view of the world of matter and spirit.
It will repay a detailed study of the symbolism and labels.
