17th century chemistry lecture. Artwork showing local people attending a chemistry lecture by the French chemist Nicolas Lemery (1645-1715). Lemery was was one of the first people to develop theories on acid-base chemistry. He did not believe in theoretical speculation and held many lectures such as this to demonstrate chemical principles. Scenes like this were typical of his lectures where everyday people filled the room to see his demonstrations

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library takes us back to the 17th century, where French chemist Nicolas Lemery is seen delivering a lecture on chemistry. Lemery, renowned for his groundbreaking theories on acid-base chemistry, was known for his practical approach and disdain for theoretical speculation. The artwork beautifully captures the scene of everyday people eagerly attending Lemery's lecture. The room is filled with a diverse audience, including men and women of all ages. They sit attentively on benches and chairs while some stand in anticipation of witnessing Lemery's chemical demonstrations. Lemery's lectures were highly popular among locals who sought to understand the principles behind chemical reactions. His ability to explain complex concepts in a simple manner made him an exceptional teacher and scientist. In this illustration, we see Lemery standing at a desk adorned with various apparatuses used in his experiments. A mirror reflects light onto the demonstration area, enhancing visibility for everyone present. A magnifying glass lies nearby, symbolizing scientific inquiry and exploration. This historical artwork not only showcases the significance of Nicolas Lemery as a prominent figure in 17th-century chemistry but also highlights the enthusiasm of ordinary people towards scientific knowledge during that era. It serves as a reminder that science has always been intertwined with human curiosity and our desire to unravel the mysteries of nature.
