EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Conrad Gessner, a prominent figure of the 16th century. The image, taken in 1830 by an unknown creator, captures the essence of this Swiss physician, naturalist, bibliographer, and philologist. Gessner's contributions to various fields such as zoology and botany earned him the title of "father of modern scientific bibliography". The portrait depicts a bearded man dressed in traditional attire from that era. His gaze is directed away from the camera, giving off an air of intellectual curiosity and focus on his work. With his hat perched atop his head, he exudes a sense of authority and wisdom. Gessner's influence extended beyond Switzerland as he became Zurich's City Physician during his lifetime. His dedication to literature and science propelled him into becoming one of history's most respected figures in these fields. This engraving was featured in Alfred Howard's "Biographical Illustrations" published by Thomas Tegg, R. Griffin & Co. , J. Cumming in London, Glasgow, and Dublin in 1830. The photograph serves as a testament to Gessner's significant impact on medicine and natural sciences during both the 16th century when he lived and the 19th century when this print was created. Overall, this print encapsulates not only Gessner’s professional achievements but also provides us with a glimpse into the rich history surrounding scientific exploration during that time period.
