EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-colored copperplate engraving and drawing, titled "Varieties of Minerals and Resins," is an intriguing glimpse into the natural world as depicted in Georg Wolfgang Knorr's Deliciae Naturae Selectae (Select Rarities of Nature) published by Blusse and Son in Nuremberg in 1771. The meticulously detailed illustration showcases a diverse array of minerals and resins, including mercury, cinnabar, cobalt, and sandarac. Mercury, represented by a pool of quicksilver, was known for its liquid metallic form at room temperature, making it a source of fascination and intrigue during this time. Cinnabar, a bright red mineral, was valued for its use in producing the vibrant pigment vermilion. Cobalt, a blue mineral, was also used as a pigment, while sandarac, a resin, was valued for its fragrant aroma and medicinal properties. The illustration is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, with each mineral and resin rendered in stunning detail. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of beauty and depth, making each specimen stand out in vivid detail. The use of copperplate engraving, a popular method of printing during the 18th century, ensures that the image is of the highest quality and clarity. This illustration is not only a scientific record of the natural world but also a work of art, showcasing the beauty and diversity of the natural world as seen through the eyes of a skilled artist and naturalist. The Deliciae Naturae Selectae was a popular publication, and this illustration would have been a prized possession for those with an interest in natural history and the natural world.
