Albrecht von Haller, Swiss scientist
Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777), Swiss anatomist and physiologist. Von Haller studied medicine under the Dutch physician Boerhaave. After founding a medical school at Gottingen, Haller returned to his native Berne. He worked on the nervous system, and recognised the tendency of muscle fibres to contract when stimulated, or when the attached nerve is stimulated, and he named this irritability. He showed that only the nerves can transmit sensation, and that they are gathered into the brain. He wrote the first physiology textbook and worked on the circulation, respiration and digestion. He was also a poet, bibliographer, botanist and writer on politics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Albrecht von Haller, a remarkable Swiss scientist who made significant contributions to various fields of study. Born in 1708, von Haller studied medicine under the renowned Dutch physician Boerhaave before establishing a medical school in Gottingen and later returning to his hometown of Berne. Von Haller's groundbreaking work on the nervous system revolutionized our understanding of muscle contraction. He coined the term "irritability" to describe how muscle fibers contract when stimulated or when their attached nerves are activated. Moreover, he demonstrated that only nerves can transmit sensations and that they converge in the brain. Beyond his achievements in physiology, von Haller was also an accomplished poet, bibliographer, botanist, and political writer. His multidisciplinary approach allowed him to delve into diverse subjects such as circulation, respiration, digestion, and anatomy. The monochrome engraving captures von Haller's dignified presence as he stands amidst nature—a fitting representation for a man deeply connected with both scientific exploration and artistic expression. This image serves as a poignant reminder of his immense impact on research and medicine during the 18th century. Albrecht von Haller's legacy endures through his pioneering physiological discoveries and extensive body of work across multiple disciplines. As we gaze upon this historical photograph print from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of his profound influence on science and society alike.
