EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures three renowned astronomers of the late 19th century, John Russell Hind, Hermann Goldschmidt, and Robert Luther. The image showcases their significant contributions to the field of astronomy and commemorates their joint efforts in discovering planetoids or minor planets. From left to right, we see John Russell Hind, an English astronomer who made remarkable discoveries by identifying 11 planetoids throughout his career. Next is Hermann Goldschmidt, a German painter turned astronomer who played a pivotal role in finding 14 planetoids between 1852 and 1861. Lastly, Karl Theodor Robert Luther stands tall as a distinguished German astronomer whose work greatly contributed to our understanding of celestial objects. The photograph not only highlights these exceptional individuals but also symbolizes the collaborative nature of scientific exploration during this era. Their profiles exude determination and passion for unraveling the mysteries of space. Displayed alongside them is a medal crafted to honor their groundbreaking achievements. This commemorative piece serves as a testament to their dedication and impact on the field of astronomy. Through this vivid portrait captured by Hermann Goldschmidt himself or an unknown creator from around c1900, we are transported back in time to witness the faces behind some of history's most important astronomical discoveries.
