EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned German physicist and physiologist, Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz, taken around 1900. With a distinguished career spanning multiple disciplines including mathematics, physics, and physiology, Helmholtz left an indelible mark on the scientific world. Notably recognized as the inventor of the ophthalmoscope in 1850, Helmholtz's groundbreaking contributions revolutionized medical diagnostics. His mathematical prowess coupled with his experimental approach to physics further solidified his status as a pioneering figure in these fields. The portrait captures Helmholtz in profile, exuding an air of intellectual curiosity and determination. The image highlights his occupation as a scientist while also emphasizing his role as an inventor through the presence of the ophthalmoscope—a significant medical instrument that forever changed how physicians examine eyes. Displayed on the obverse side of a commemorative plaquette, this print serves as a testament to Helmholtz's lasting impact on science and medicine. It transports us back to a pivotal moment at the turn of the 20th century when advancements in various scientific disciplines were rapidly shaping our understanding of the world. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Hermann Helmholtz himself or someone unknown but credited for its preservation (print collector1), we are reminded not only of one man's brilliance but also of Germany's rich history in scientific innovation.
