EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art from the 18th century - an illustration taken from Johann Scheuchzer's "Physica Sacra" (Sacred Physics). Created in 1731, this intricate folio copper engraving depicts fish denticles under a microscope. The meticulous details were drawn by a team of skilled engravers led by Johann Andreas Pfeffel. Scheuchzer's ambitious project aimed to merge contemporary scientific knowledge with biblical narratives, resulting in a sequence of 745 plates. This particular artwork beautifully exemplifies his goal as it combines elements of science and religion. The mono chrome, black and white composition adds an air of elegance to the image, emphasizing its timeless quality. The fish denticles depicted here are meticulously rendered, showcasing the artist's attention to detail. Through this illustration, viewers can appreciate the wonders that lie beneath the surface of these aquatic creatures. It serves as a testament to both Scheuchzer's artistic talent and his dedication to bridging the gap between faith and reason. Paul D. Stewart has captured this historical masterpiece through his lens, allowing us to admire its beauty even centuries later. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded of humanity's ongoing quest for knowledge and understanding - an endeavor that transcends time itself.
