EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Divining Rod" from Bergwerk Buch, a renowned work by Georg Agricola published in Frankfurt in 1580. The image was later featured in a History of Magic during the late 19th century. Created by an anonymous German artist from the 16th century, this lithograph beautifully captures the essence of superstition and scientific discovery. Intriguingly, the divining rod depicted here is a forked branch believed to possess mystical powers for locating hidden metals beneath the earth's surface. This ancient practice, known as dowsing or divination, has long fascinated prospectors and excavators alike. The engraving portrays a scene where a skilled diviner uses the forked rod to detect precious metals buried deep within the ground. With intense focus and unwavering belief in their abilities, these prospectors would rely on such tools to guide them towards potential riches. This image not only highlights mankind's enduring fascination with uncovering hidden treasures but also represents an intriguing blend of superstition and scientific exploration. It serves as a reminder that throughout history, individuals have sought innovative ways to understand our world and harness its resources. Preserved within private collections today, this remarkable piece offers us a glimpse into both past beliefs and historical artistic techniques.
