EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the title-page of Otto von Guericke's groundbreaking work, Experimenta Nova, published in Amsterdam in 1672. This first edition holds within its pages the remarkable accounts of von Guericke's revolutionary inventions and discoveries. At the forefront is his invention of the air pump, a device that allowed for the manipulation and study of air pressure like never before. Alongside this milestone achievement lies his creation of the first electric generating machine, marking a pivotal moment in harnessing electricity for practical use. One cannot overlook the presence of the famous Magdeburg hemispheres, an iconic symbol representing von Guericke's experiments on vacuum and atmospheric pressure. These two large copper hemispheres sealed together demonstrated with great force how powerful air pressure can be. Von Guericke's Experimenta Nova stands as a testament to his brilliant mind and relentless pursuit of scientific knowledge during a time when physics was still in its infancy. Through this extraordinary piece of literature, he not only introduced groundbreaking ideas but also paved the way for future advancements in science and technology. This print serves as a reminder of von Guericke's immense contributions to our understanding of physics while highlighting his significant impact on both past and present generations fascinated by scientific exploration.
