The history of chemistry:
a periodic table with alchemical symbols in place of some modern ones

Red: medieval alchemy: the seven 'planetary' metals and two of the Tria Prima -- mercury is both and salt isn't an element.

Black: Dalton's 36 elemental symbols, except for those included above

Gray: modern symbols for the remaining elements.
