EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Metals: Galena, Cerussite, and Zinc," is a captivating illustration from Dr. Adolph Kenngott's Mineralogy section in Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's Natural History publication. Dated back to 1886, this piece showcases a collection of intricately detailed crystals and minerals, with a focus on three essential metals: galena, cerussite, and zinc. Galena, the primary mineral source of lead, is depicted in the center of the image, its inky black crystals shimmering against the white background. Surrounding galena are the vibrant blue cerussite crystals, their smooth, hexagonal shapes adding a striking contrast to the overall composition. Mimetesite, wulfenite, and crocoite are also present, their unique shapes and colors contributing to the rich tapestry of minerals displayed. In the lower right corner, zinc and zincite crystals are showcased. Zinc, an essential element for human health and industrial applications, is represented by its bluish-white crystals, while zincite, a zinc carbonate mineral, is shown in the form of elongated, prismatic crystals. This historical chromolithograph is a testament to the beauty and diversity of minerals and their role in the natural world. Dr. Adolph Kenngott, a renowned mineralogist, and Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert, a prominent natural historian, collaborated to create this exquisite work, which remains an invaluable resource for geologists, mineralogists, and anyone with a passion for the natural world.
