This is a detailed engraving of a complex mechanical device, likely a water pump powered by a water wheel. The image is framed by an ornate, repeating geometric border. The upper portion of the image depicts a circular water channel surrounding a large water wheel. Water flows into the channel and turns the wheel, which is the power source for the pump below. Below the water wheel is a stone structure housing a series of vertical pumps. These pumps consist of cylinders with pistons that move up and down, drawing water from a lower level and presumably lifting it to a higher one. The pistons are connected by rods and levers, creating a complex mechanical system. The entire structure is surrounded by vegetation, including plants and grasses, suggesting it is located outdoors or in a garden setting. The style of the engraving is reminiscent of Renaissance or early modern technical illustrations, with a focus on detailed representation of mechanical components. The image is labeled 'FIGVRE XII' at the top.
