EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of smelting copper in the 17th century, as depicted in Lazarus Ercker's renowned work "Beschreibung allerfurnemisten mineralischen Ertzt und Berckwercksarten." The image showcases the making of liquation cakes through the reduction of copper in furnaces and alloying with lead, a technique essential for refining metals. In this scene, workers are seen diligently working around the furnace, carefully monitoring the transformation of raw materials into valuable copper alloys. The use of a wheelbarrow to transport these liquation cakes highlights the manual labor involved in this industry during that time period. The detailed copperplate engraving from the 1683 English edition provides a glimpse into historical mining practices and technological advancements. It serves as a testament to Ercker's contribution to our understanding of mineral processing and metallurgy. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the craftsmanship and skill required for smelting copper. It is a reminder of how far we have come in terms of industrial progress while also honoring the legacy left behind by pioneers like Lazarus Ercker.
