EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into a laboratory dedicated to refining gold and silver. The scene is filled with typical laboratory equipment of the time, showcasing the advancements in technology and scientific knowledge during this period. At the center of attention stands an impressive Athanor or Slow Harry furnace, which maintains a constant temperature for precise refining processes. Its self-feeding mechanism symbolizes the ingenuity of early industrial chemistry. Flanking it are side furnaces with receivers on stools, ready to collect precious metals as they undergo transformation. The meticulous arrangement of glass vessels and tools on shelves reveals the importance placed on organization in this laboratory setting. One particularly intriguing item catches our eye: a glass vessel shaped like an Hermetic vase, perhaps holding some secret alchemical concoction. In this image captured from Lazarus Ercker's renowned work "Beschreibung allerfurnemisten mineralischen Ertzt" we witness skilled male workers engrossed in their craft. Their expertise in chemistry and metallurgy is evident as they diligently refine these valuable materials that hold immense economic significance. This engraving not only showcases the technical aspects of metal refinement but also highlights the connection between science, industry, and artistry during this era. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination to unlock nature's secrets through experimentation – a timeless pursuit that continues to shape our world today.
