The Magic Organ Pipes
Six upright tubes numbered I to VI stand upon a slab supported by low trestles. A small separate hook drawing appears beside them. Hoffmann identifies Figure 213 with The Magic Organ Pipes, also called Le Souper du Diable. The text describes a production of a meal from tubes apparently shown empty, using their graduated sizes and concealed loads.
