Robert Bunsen, German chemist, 1850s. Artist: C Cook
Robert Bunsen, German chemist, 1850s. Signed portrait; Bunsen (1811-1899) is widely considered one of the greatest experimental chemists of the 19th century. He was a pioneer of chemical spectroscopy, and the inventor of the Bunsen cell, the Bunsen ice calorimeter and the Bunsen burner. Spectroscopy is the branch of science concerned with the investigation and measurement of spectra produced when matter interacts with or emits electromagnetic radiation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the esteemed German chemist, Robert Bunsen, during the 1850s. The artist behind this signed portrait is C Cook, who beautifully captures Bunsen's intellectual prowess and dedication to his craft. Robert Bunsen (1811-1899) remains an iconic figure in the world of chemistry, widely regarded as one of the greatest experimental chemists of the 19th century. His pioneering work in chemical spectroscopy revolutionized scientific understanding by investigating and measuring spectra produced when matter interacts with or emits electromagnetic radiation. Bunsen's inventive spirit led him to create several groundbreaking tools that are still used today. Among his notable inventions are the Bunsen cell, which advanced chemical analysis techniques; the Bunsen ice calorimeter for precise heat measurements; and perhaps most famously, the Bunsen burner – a staple in laboratories worldwide. In this monochrome engraving, we see Professor Robert Wilhelm Bunsen at a time when he was making significant contributions to science. His signature proudly adorns this print collector's piece from Heritage Images' collection. As we admire this portrait of a man dedicated to advancing our understanding of chemistry, it serves as a reminder of how individuals like Robert Bunsen shape our world through their unwavering pursuit of knowledge and innovation.
