EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate process of refining copper through the Hungarian method. The image captures a moment where cupellation cakes, heated and roasted, release intense heat into the air. This ancient technique dates back to 1580 and is depicted in an English edition from 1683 of Lazarus Ercker's renowned book "Beschreibung allerfurnemisten mineralischen Ertszt". The copperplate engraving beautifully illustrates the technology employed during this refining process. The Hungarian method involves smelting lead obtained at a temperature of five units, transforming it into pure copper. Each step is meticulously executed to ensure the highest quality metal output. The visual details within this print provide a glimpse into the historical significance of this innovative procedure. It highlights how early civilizations harnessed their knowledge to extract valuable metals like copper using advanced techniques that were ahead of their time. This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) serves as both an educational tool and a testament to human ingenuity throughout history. It reminds us of our ancestors' dedication to perfecting metallurgical processes and sheds light on their contributions to technological advancements that still influence modern practices today
