It is an engraving from JosA(c) GarcAa Hidalgo`s Principios para
estudiar el nobilAsimo y real arte de la pintura (Madrid, 1693),
intending to show in perspective a rule on how to fret instruments
(unfortunately the proportions are wrong).
There is a modern edition, Valencia, Universidad PolitA(c)cnica, 2006.
Best wishes for 2016.

Dear collected wisdom,
I found this in Bob Spencer's collection, now in the Royal Academy of
Music, London:

Who knows the exact meaning of this engraving?
Is there a translation of the text?
Thanks a lot!
All the best,
Andreas
