EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Mola Aquaria, plate 10 from Nova Reperta" takes us back in time to the late 16th century. Engraved by Philip Galle between 1580 and 1605, this masterpiece showcases the incredible talent of Jan van der Straet (Giovanni Stradano). Part of a series called Nova Reperta, these prints celebrate the remarkable inventions and advancements of that era. In this particular image, we witness a water mill in action as it grinds flour. The scene is filled with activity; sacks of corn are being transported while a diligent miller tends to his duties. The power generated by the water wheel is harnessed efficiently to operate this impressive machinery. A horse can be seen nearby, perhaps used for transportation or other tasks related to the milling process. Additionally, there is a weighing mechanism present which indicates precision and attention to detail. The setting itself exudes tranquility as it sits beside a serene river. The gentle flow of water fuels both nature's beauty and human innovation simultaneously. This extraordinary artwork not only captures an important moment in history but also serves as a reminder of mankind's ingenuity throughout the ages. It invites us to appreciate how our ancestors utilized natural resources like flowing rivers to drive progress forward.
