EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the world of scientific exploration and alchemy. The image showcases the distillation process of nitric acid, also known as Aqua fortis or parting acid, conducted by the renowned physician Christopher Packe. In this intriguing scene, an iron man with two noses stands tall in a laboratory setting. The iron man serves as a vessel for this intricate procedure, symbolizing both strength and precision required in chemical experiments. Behind him lies a furnace where intense heat fuels the distillation process. A condenser can be seen attached to his body, indicating that vapors are being cooled down and collected for further analysis. This woodcut is derived from Johann Rudolph Glauber's comprehensive works on chemistry translated by Packe himself. It reflects their dedication to advancing scientific knowledge during an era when alchemy was transitioning into modern chemistry. As we gaze at this historical artifact, we are reminded of the significant contributions made by these pioneering minds in unraveling the mysteries of matter transformation. This image encapsulates not only their passion for discovery but also highlights how science has evolved over centuries.
