Albrecht von Haller, Swiss scientist
Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777), Swiss anatomist and physiologist. Von Haller studied medicine under the Dutch physician Boerhaave. After founding a medical school at Gottingen, Haller returned to his native Berne. He worked on the nervous system, and recognised the tendency of muscle fibres to contract when stimulated, or when the attached nerve is stimulated, and he named this irritability. He showed that only the nerves can transmit sensation, and that they are gathered into the brain. He wrote the first physiology textbook and worked on the circulation, respiration and digestion. He was also a poet, bibliographer, botanist and writer on politics

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 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 23x19 inches (584x482mm). 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 showcases Albrecht von Haller, a remarkable Swiss scientist who made significant contributions to various fields of study. Born in 1708, von Haller studied medicine under the renowned Dutch physician Boerhaave before establishing a medical school in Gottingen and later returning to his hometown of Berne. Von Haller's groundbreaking work on the nervous system revolutionized our understanding of muscle contraction. He coined the term "irritability" to describe how muscle fibers contract when stimulated or when their attached nerves are activated. Moreover, he demonstrated that only nerves can transmit sensations and that they converge in the brain. Beyond his achievements in physiology, von Haller was also an accomplished poet, bibliographer, botanist, and political writer. His multidisciplinary approach allowed him to delve into diverse subjects such as circulation, respiration, digestion, and anatomy. The monochrome engraving captures von Haller's dignified presence as he stands amidst nature—a fitting representation for a man deeply connected with both scientific exploration and artistic expression. This image serves as a poignant reminder of his immense impact on research and medicine during the 18th century. Albrecht von Haller's legacy endures through his pioneering physiological discoveries and extensive body of work across multiple disciplines. As we gaze upon this historical photograph print from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of his profound influence on science and society alike.
