EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic experiment of Otto von Guericke, a renowned scientist from the 17th century. In this image, we witness the extraordinary display of atmospheric air pressure using the Magdeburg hemispheres. The vacuum created within these hemispheres is so powerful that it prevents 16 horses from detaching themselves. The experiment itself is a testament to Guericke's ingenuity and scientific prowess. Through his innovative approach, he was able to demonstrate the power and significance of air pressure in a visually striking manner. This groundbreaking discovery revolutionized our understanding of meteorology and paved the way for further advancements in this field. The unknown artist who captured this momentous event has done justice to its historical importance through their intricate engraving. The attention to detail brings out every aspect of Guericke's experiment, allowing us to appreciate both its scientific significance and artistic beauty. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time, witnessing firsthand one of history's most influential experiments. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our ability to unravel nature's mysteries through experimentation. Leonard de Selva has skillfully preserved this piece of scientific history with his expert photography skills.
