EDITORS COMMENTS

This print showcases an assay laboratory filled with a fascinating array of furnaces, each serving its unique purpose in the world of metallurgy. At the center of attention is an extraordinary athanor, also known as Slow Harry, emanating an air of mystery and ancient wisdom. This self-stoking furnace stands tall amidst its counterparts, symbolizing the timeless pursuit of knowledge and mastery over fire. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to a cementation furnace nearby, exuding efficiency and precision. Its innovative design allows for draught supplied by steam from water placed strategically over hot charcoals. The ingenuity behind this barrel-shaped furnace demonstrates humanity's relentless quest for advancement in scientific practices. Intriguingly, at another corner lies a crucible being gradually heated within a ring of burning coals. The skilled hands behind this process understand that controlling heat is key; hence they can easily adjust it by raking coals into a smaller circle if needed. This remarkable image originates from Lazarus Ercker's renowned work "Beschreibung allerfurnemisten mineralischen Ertzt- und Berckwercksarten" first published in Prague back in 1574. The English edition from 1683 immortalizes Ercker's contribution to the field of metallurgy through detailed copperplate engravings like this one. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into the rich history and intricate techniques employed within assay laboratories centuries ago. It serves as both an educational tool and a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity when faced with unlocking nature's secrets.
