EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable scientific invention of Otto von Guericke's second air pump, dating back to 1656. The image captures a momentous experiment in progress as two Magdeburg hemispheres are being exhausted using this groundbreaking device. Displayed in the pages of Experimenta Nova by Otto von Guericke, published in Amsterdam in 1672, this photograph provides a glimpse into the world of early physics and pneumatics. The significance of this image lies not only in its historical context but also in its representation of human curiosity and ingenuity. Von Guericke's air pump revolutionized our understanding of atmospheric pressure and laid the foundation for further advancements in science. Amsterdam serves as an appropriate backdrop for this photograph, as it was a hub for intellectual exchange during that era. This city witnessed countless scientific breakthroughs, making it an ideal location for publishing Experimenta Nova. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how far we have come since then. It is through such pioneering experiments that our knowledge has expanded exponentially over time. This image encapsulates both the beauty and complexity of scientific exploration while honoring the legacy left behind by visionaries like Otto von Guericke.
