A horizontally oriented etching and aquatint reveals a central baby nestled within a glowing oval. To our left, a man with light skin tone uses a compass on a star map beside a large telescope. Above the infant, a jagged bolt arcs between two spheres. To our right, a masked figure with light skin tone peers into a microscope beneath floating microorganisms and glassware. A row of numbers lines the bottom right.
