EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts the intricate process of distillation of alcohol. Distillation, a method used to separate mixtures based on differences in volatilities of components in a boiling liquid mixture, is showcased here as a unit operation rather than a chemical reaction.
In this image, we see a woman standing next to a kiln with flames roaring beneath it. She appears focused and determined as she works on distilling alcohol, surrounded by bottles and shelves filled with ingredients. The bellows nearby suggest that she is carefully controlling the temperature during the distillation process.
The detailed engraving captures the essence of chemistry and history intertwined in this age-old practice of creating alcoholic beverages. The vertical composition adds to the sense of gravity and importance associated with this traditional craft.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to an era where distillation was not just about making drinks but also about mastering the art and science behind it. This engraving serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage surrounding alcohol production and consumption throughout history.
