EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an Assay laboratory bustling with activity, featuring various forms of furnaces used in the process. The intricate details of each furnace are highlighted, including the athanor or 'Slow Harry', a self-stoking furnace for cementation, and a barrel-shaped furnace powered by steam from water in a container placed over hot charcoals. In the midst of this historical setting, we see a crucible being gradually heated in a ring of burning coals, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship and dedication required in metallurgical work during the 16th century. The image is taken from an English edition of Lazarus Ercker's "Beschreibung allerfurnemisten mineralischen Ertzt- und Berckwercksarten", originally published in Prague in 1574. The engraving brings to life the industrial atmosphere of the workshop, with mature men and teenage boys working together using manufacturing equipment indoors. This illustration provides a glimpse into the rich history of metallurgy and showcases the evolution of technology through different forms of furnaces used in assay laboratories centuries ago. Overall, this print serves as a visual reminder of our past achievements in metal industry and highlights the importance of innovation and hard work that have shaped our modern world.
