EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, hailing from Dr. Adolph Kenngott's Mineralogy section in Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's Natural History publication, showcases a dazzling array of precious metals and minerals, including gold, platinum, and osmiridium. The image, published by Schreiber in Munich in 1886, invites us to explore the rich and intriguing world of geology and mineralogy. Gold, the most famous of all precious metals, is depicted in various forms: as ruddy quartz, crystals, tablets in quartz, and nuggets. Its lustrous yellow hue and malleability have made it a prized commodity since ancient times. Platinum, another precious metal, is showcased in its natural state, with its silvery-white color and high melting point making it an essential component in various industrial applications and as a precious metal in jewelry. Osmiridium, a lesser-known precious metal, is also represented in this image. It is a rare, blue-gray, platinum group metal that was first discovered in 1804. Its name comes from the Greek words for "osmium" and "eridanos," meaning "wealthy river," reflecting its valuable properties. This historical image not only showcases the beauty and allure of these precious metals but also serves as a reminder of the rich history of scientific discovery and exploration in the field of mineralogy and geology. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the chromolithograph transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of natural history and the wonders of the Earth.
