Anthrax cultures, historical diagram
Anthrax cultures. 1876 diagram of Bacillus anthracis (Anthrax) bacteria cultured by Robert Koch. Along with Louis Pasteur, Koch is considered the founder of modern medical bacteriology. His techniques for cultivating bacteria, both in liquid and solid media, and his use of stains, enabled him to study the life cycles of bacteria in laboratory conditions. As a result he was able to isolate the specific bacteria responsible for certain diseases, such as those seen here. Image from La Conquete Du Monde Invisible by Giuseppe Penso

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical diagram of Anthrax cultures, dating back to 1876. The diagram depicts Bacillus anthracis bacteria cultured by the renowned scientist Robert Koch, who is widely regarded as one of the founding figures in modern medical bacteriology. Alongside Louis Pasteur, Koch revolutionized the field with his groundbreaking techniques for cultivating bacteria in both liquid and solid media. By utilizing stains and creating laboratory conditions conducive to studying bacterial life cycles, Koch was able to isolate specific bacteria responsible for various diseases. This particular image highlights his successful identification of the pathogenic bacteria behind Anthrax. The artwork featured in this print is taken from Giuseppe Penso's book "La Conquete Du Monde Invisible" offering a glimpse into the rich history of biology and medicine during the 19th century. It serves as a testament to the significant contributions made by pioneers like Robert Koch in unraveling the mysteries of microorganisms. This mesmerizing illustration not only captures an important moment in scientific discovery but also emphasizes the crucial role that bacteriology plays in understanding pathogens and their impact on human health. As we delve into this visual representation, we are reminded of how far we have come in our knowledge and appreciation of these microscopic organisms that shape our world.
