A detailed woodcut illustration depicts meteorological phenomena. The scene shows a landscape with water in the foreground and mountains in the distance. The sky is filled with clouds and various types of precipitation. Numbered labels (1-10) correspond to the text: 1 indicates rising vapor/rays; 2 points to the clouds; 3 indicates mist or fog near the ground; 4 shows rain falling; 5 indicates hail; 6 points to snow; 7 marks a dark storm cloud; 8 indicates larger rain drops; 9 shows a lightning bolt; 10 marks the water source. An oval library stamp "UBH" is placed in the upper left of the image frame.
