EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate process of refining silver in the 16th century. The image, originally published in Prague in 1574 by Lazarus Ercker, showcases a test being put into the furnace and burning the silver to extract its pure form.
In this detailed copperplate engraving, we see two young men working diligently in a workshop filled with industrial equipment used for metallurgy. The scene is bustling with activity as one man warms a test while another tends to a roaster for making burnt silver dry.
The historical significance of this image is truly remarkable, offering us a glimpse into the metal industry of centuries past. The craftsmanship and precision required for refining silver are evident in every detail captured by the engraver.
As we study this engraving closely, we can appreciate the dedication and skill of these workers as they carry out their tasks with expertise. It serves as a reminder of the rich history behind one of our most precious metals - silver.
This print from Bridgeman Images is not just an illustration; it is a window into a bygone era where craftsmanship and industry intersected to create something truly extraordinary.
