EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the meticulous process of assaying gold and silver. The scene depicts an assayer diligently testing samples of precious metals, immersing us in the world of science and metallurgy during this era. The interior setting showcases a male figure engrossed in his work, surrounded by scales, weights, and various tools essential for accurate measurements. With utmost concentration, he carefully weighs the samples on a scale, ensuring precision in determining their purity. Lazarus Ercker's copperplate engraving from his renowned treatise on ores and assaying provides valuable insight into the scientific advancements made during this period. This particular edition features new plates with numbers instead of letters but faithfully preserves Ercker's original process. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to the image while emphasizing its historical significance. Every detail is meticulously captured through intricate lines and shading techniques that bring life to this moment frozen in time. As we admire this print, we are transported back centuries ago when men like Lazarus Ercker dedicated themselves to unraveling the secrets hidden within minerals.
