August Wilhelm von Hofmann, 19th century German organic chemist, (1900). Through his work on coal-tar derivatives, Hofmann (1818-1892) in 1858 obtained aniline dye magenta or fuschine and in 1863 patented dyes known as Hofmann violets. He was appointed director of the Royal College of Chemistry, London, in 1845

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the image of August Wilhelm von Hofmann, a prominent 19th-century German organic chemist. Born in 1818 and passing away in 1892, Hofmann made significant contributions to the field of chemistry through his pioneering work on coal-tar derivatives. In 1858, he successfully obtained aniline dye magenta or fuschine from this research, followed by patenting dyes known as Hofmann violets in 1863. The portrait showcases a distinguished-looking man with a full beard, reflecting the fashion of the time. As director of the Royal College of Chemistry in London since his appointment in 1845, Hofmann played a crucial role in advancing scientific knowledge during this period. This engraving offers us a glimpse into the life and accomplishments of this esteemed scientist. It serves as a testament to his dedication and expertise within the realm of organic chemistry. Through his discoveries and innovations, Hofmann revolutionized dyeing techniques while leaving an indelible mark on Germany's scientific community. Preserved over time by The Print Collector6 at Heritage Images, this monochrome photograph allows us to appreciate not only August Wilhelm von Hofmann's contribution but also provides insight into nineteenth-century science and its pioneers who laid down foundations for future advancements.
