Two 16th C. Woodblocks - Copper Smelting Furnaces

Item Details

Description

European, likely Switzerland, ca. 16th to 17th century. A pair of woodcut engravings, possibly from "De re metallica" (Latin for "On the Nature of Metals/Minerals") by Georgius Agricola (published in Basel, 1st edition 1556 and later editions in 16th in 17th centuries) depicting several workers engaged in the process of roasting copper ore in a furnace. Note the pile of cakes of smelted copper (labeled I) with the wheelbarrow before it. Both woodcuts are set in nice double mattes (white on black) behind glass in matching wooden frames. A fascinating glimpse at the art of mining, refining, and smelting metals as well as the art of printmaking in the Northern Renaissance. Size of print with sun at upper left: 9.5" L x 7.5" W (24.1 cm x 19 cm) Size of both frames: 17.375" L x 14.375" W (44.1 cm x 36.5 cm)

Prior to the publication of "De re metallica" most knowledge about mining was passed down orally from generation to generation. Only a small group of mining overseers and technicians truly understood the process. During the Middle Ages, these individuals had the same leadership role as master builders of the Gothic cathedrals and alchemists. Their knowledge was coveted and not shared with the outside world. Most authors were not interested in putting forth the effort to write about this process; however, by the time of the Renaissance this changed. With the invention of moveable type by Johannes Gutenberg and the development of the printing press during the 15th century, a new age was dawning. The first printed book dedicated to mining engineering - entitled "Nutzlich Bergbuchleyn" (The Useful Little Mining Book”) by Ulrich Rulein von Calw - was published in 1500. However, the most important publications were the twelve books of "De Re Metallica" by Georgius Agricola, first published in 1556.
