EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate V from the publication "Uber den Schachspieler des Herrn von Kempelen und dessen Nachbildung" by Joseph Friedrich Freiherr von Racknitz. Published in 1789, this colour engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of robotics and engineering during the 18th century. The image depicts the reconstructed chess machine created by Racknitz, known as Kempelschen Schachmaschine. It illustrates the intricate mechanics of the robotic chess player's torso and arm, providing insight into its movement and functionality. The Chess Turk, as it is commonly referred to, was a remarkable invention for its time. The attention to detail in this illustration is truly impressive. From the design of the automaton itself to its turban-clad appearance, every aspect has been meticulously captured through engraving techniques. This artwork not only highlights scientific advancements but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity throughout history. It reminds us of our ongoing fascination with creating machines that can mimic human actions and intelligence. Displayed at Humboldt-Universitaet in Berlin, Germany, this print allows viewers to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical significance of this groundbreaking invention. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how far technology has come while also acknowledging our debt to those who paved the way for modern robotics.
