EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a surveyor's level from the year 1547, providing us with a glimpse into the construction industry of 16th century Germany. The engraving is taken from Gaultherius Rivius' renowned book "Architechtur. . . Mathematischen. . . Kunst" published in Nuremberg in the same year. The image displays an intricate tool used by surveyors during that era to measure and establish accurate levels for architectural purposes. Its design reflects the craftsmanship of German engineers at the time, highlighting their dedication to precision and innovation. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this historical artifact, transporting us back to a period where technology was rudimentary yet groundbreaking for its time. Gaultherius Rivius, an influential figure in architecture and mathematics, captured this momentous invention through his meticulous engravings. Preserved within Oxford Science Archive, this print serves as a testament to humanity's continuous quest for advancement in various fields. It reminds us of our ancestors' ingenuity and resourcefulness while inspiring present-day professionals working in surveying or related industries. As we admire this remarkable piece of history created by Gaultherius Rivius himself or under his supervision by an unknown artist, it prompts reflection on how far we have come since then. This image invites us to appreciate both the progress made over centuries and the foundations laid by those who came before us.
