EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures an innovative incubator designed by Paul Altmann and distributed by Messrs Coney and Schenkhein in 1897. The machine was a marvel of its time, featuring automatic temperature control maintained by a thermostat. Positioned on top of the incubator is a chimney, serving as an outlet for impure air to ensure optimal conditions for whatever was being nurtured inside.
Paul Altmann's design revolutionized the way in which environments could be controlled for delicate processes requiring specific temperatures. This image provides a glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into creating such intricate machinery.
The import of this piece lies not only in its historical significance but also in its representation of human innovation and progress. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technology and engineering.
As we look at this photograph, we are transported back to a time when precision instruments like this incubator were at the forefront of scientific advancement. It stands as a testament to human curiosity and determination to push boundaries, even in the face of challenges posed by nature itself.
