EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Sweat mill" takes us back to the 19th century and offers a glimpse into an era of scientific innovation and technological advancements. The print showcases a German School's depiction of a sweat mill, an ingenious device that harnessed human power for various purposes. The intricate details in this artwork allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such a complex machine. The sweat mill, also known as a treadmill, was designed to convert physical exertion into mechanical energy. It served multiple functions, from grinding grain or pumping water to powering machinery in factories. Published by Friedrich Justin Bertuch in his renowned "Picture Book for Children" between 1790 and 1830, this engraving not only highlights the technical prowess of the time but also sheds light on how these inventions were introduced to younger generations. As we admire this historical piece from our private collection, it is important to acknowledge its significance beyond aesthetics. This image represents humanity's ceaseless pursuit of progress through science and technology. It reminds us of our ancestors' ingenuity and their relentless efforts to improve their lives and shape the world around them. Thanks to ePurix Verlag Volker Christen's collaboration with Bridgeman Images, we can now cherish this remarkable snapshot from history while honoring those who paved the way for modern innovations.
