EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print showcases the renowned German scientist Otto von Guericke alongside his famous invention, the Magdeburg hemispheres. Born in 1602 and passing away in 1686, von Guericke made significant contributions to the field of physics during the 17th century. The image depicts von Guericke proudly holding the Magdeburg hemispheres, which were two large metal spheres that could be joined together to create a vacuum seal. This groundbreaking invention allowed him to demonstrate the power of atmospheric pressure through a memorable experiment. By removing air from between the hemispheres using a pump, he showed how even teams of horses pulling in opposite directions couldn't separate them. Von Guericke's work with vacuums and weights laid important foundations for modern scientific understanding. His experiments not only expanded knowledge about atmospheric pressure but also influenced future inventors and scientists alike. In this portrait, we see an illustration capturing both his scientific prowess and personal pride in his creation. The attention to detail highlights his dedication as well as his contribution to advancing our understanding of physics. As one of Germany's most celebrated scientists, Otto von Guericke left an indelible mark on European science during the 17th century. This print serves as a testament to his ingenuity and enduring legacy within scientific circles worldwide.
