EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait print captures the esteemed Georgius Agricola, a renowned German physician, mineralogist, and metallurgist. Created in 1881 by an unknown artist, this image showcases Agricola's prominent role in the field of mining and metallurgy during the 16th century. Agricola, originally christened as Georg Bauer, authored the influential treatise "De re metallica" in Basel in 1555. This groundbreaking work became a standard text on mining and metallurgy for over two centuries. In this portrait, Agricola is depicted using a geologist's hammer—a tool symbolic of his expertise and dedication to scientific exploration. Dressed in traditional attire with a distinguished hat atop his head, Agricola exudes professionalism and intellect. His long beard adds to his scholarly appearance while reflecting the wisdom acquired through years of research and study. The wood engraving technique used to create this print enhances its historical charm. The monochrome aesthetic transports us back to the 19th century when this artwork was produced. As we gaze upon this portrayal of Georgius Agricola, we are reminded of his significant contributions to science and medicine. His legacy as a pioneering figure within mineralogy, geology, and metallurgy continues to inspire generations of scientists today.
