EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph, titled "Geological Cross-Sections of the Harz Mountains, Thuringian Forest, Ore Mountains, and Riesengrenze," is a captivating visual representation of the geological structure of several mountain ranges in Central Europe. Originating from Dr. Fr. Rolles' Geology and Paleontology section in Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert's Natural History, published by Schreiber in Munich in 1886, this print showcases the intricate layering and complex geological history of the Harz Mountains, Thuringian Forest, Ore Mountains, and Riesengrenze regions. The intricate details in the chromolithograph reveal various geological formations, including sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks. The Harz Mountains, depicted in the center, are particularly noteworthy, with their distinctive layering of sedimentary and volcanic rocks. The Thuringian Forest, to the north, displays a more complex geological structure, with a mix of sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. The Ore Mountains, to the south, are highlighted by their extensive mineral deposits, as indicated by the numerous mineral symbols scattered throughout the print. This historical geological cross-section provides valuable insights into the geological history of Central Europe, offering a glimpse into the complex processes that shaped the landscape over millions of years. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the chromolithograph serve not only as a testament to the scientific advances of the late 19th century but also as a beautiful work of art that continues to captivate and inspire geologists, historians, and art enthusiasts alike.
