Justus von Liebig, German chemist, 1866
Justus von Liebig, German chemist, 1866. Liebig (1803-1873) was one of the most illustrious chemists of his age; he was the founder of agricultural chemistry, a discoverer of chloroform and chloral and, with Friedrich Wohler, of the benzoyl radical. He vastly extended the method of organic analysis, and invented appliances for analysis by combustion and also Liebigs condenser. From The Popular Science Review, London, April, 1866

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed German chemist, Justus von Liebig, in 1866. Known as one of the most illustrious chemists of his time, Liebig's contributions to science were truly groundbreaking. He is widely recognized as the founder of agricultural chemistry and played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of this field. Additionally, Liebig made significant discoveries such as chloroform and chloral, further cementing his status as a pioneer in the scientific community. Liebig's collaboration with Friedrich Wohler led to another remarkable breakthrough - the identification of the benzoyl radical. This revolutionary finding greatly expanded organic analysis methods and solidified their place in history. The portrait captures Liebig's intellectual prowess and determination through his intense gaze. Dressed impeccably in formal attire, he exudes confidence befitting a man who has dedicated his life to unraveling nature's mysteries through chemistry. This print serves not only as a testament to Baron Justus Freiherr von Liebig's immense contributions but also highlights Germany's rich scientific heritage during the 19th century. It reminds us that behind every great discovery lies an individual driven by curiosity and passion for knowledge. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive, this piece from The Popular Science Review offers us a glimpse into an era where scientific exploration was at its peak. As we admire this image today, we pay homage to Liebig’s enduring legacy that continues to shape modern chemistry and agriculture practices worldwide.
