Engraving of Robert Boyles laboratory
Boyles laboratory. Engraving of the laboratory of Robert Boyle (1627-91), British chemist. The laboratory contains various furnaces and vessels for sublimation and distillation. Boyle established chemistry as an independent science, establishing an experimental philosophy which promoted the use of careful observation. Boyle carried out research into the composition of substances, vacuums, hydrostatics, the chemistry of colours, calcination of metals, properties of acids and alkalis, crystallography and refraction.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic laboratory of Robert Boyle, a renowned British chemist who revolutionized the field of chemistry. The engraving captures the essence of Boyle's laboratory in Maiden Lane, located near Covent Garden in London, back in 1668. The image depicts an array of furnaces and vessels meticulously arranged for sublimation and distillation purposes. These tools were instrumental in Boyle's groundbreaking research on various scientific phenomena such as vacuums, hydrostatics, crystallography, and refraction. His experimental philosophy emphasized careful observation as a means to establish chemistry as an independent science. Boyle's contributions extended far beyond his exploration into the composition of substances; he delved into diverse areas including the properties of acids and alkalis, calcination of metals, and even the chemistry behind colors. By pushing boundaries and expanding knowledge across multiple disciplines within chemistry, Boyle left an indelible mark on scientific history. This remarkable photograph not only provides a glimpse into Boyles' laboratory but also serves as a testament to his enduring legacy. It reminds us that through meticulous experimentation and unwavering curiosity, great minds like Boyle have paved the way for future advancements in science.
