Distillation, 1882
Distillation, 1882. Cross-section showing a furnace heating a still. Matter distilled is discharged through the beak of the alembic and is condensed in the worm that runs through the refrigerator (cold water bath) before being collected at the bottom. From Physics in Pictures by Theodore Eckhardt. (London, 1882)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Distillation, 1882" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of scientific exploration during the 19th century. The cross-section diagram showcases an intricate setup involving various laboratory equipment and apparatuses. At the center of attention is a furnace, emanating warmth and intensity as it heats a still. The distilled matter flows through the beak of the alembic, gracefully finding its way into a condenser. Here, in what appears to be a chromolithograph representation, we witness the transformation from vapor to liquid as cold water bathed within a refrigerator aids in condensation. The meticulous detail captured by Theodore Eckhardt transports us back in time to an era when science was rapidly advancing. This print serves as both educational material and artistic expression, showcasing not only technical knowledge but also aesthetic beauty. With vibrant colors accentuating each element of this scientific process, this print invites viewers to appreciate both the artistry behind distillation and its practical applications. It reminds us that even in seemingly mundane tasks like separating liquids through heat and cooling techniques lie hidden wonders waiting to be discovered. As we admire this snapshot from history's scientific endeavors, let us acknowledge Anon (creator) for preserving such valuable knowledge while paying tribute to Theodore Eckhardt's skillful craftsmanship that brings this scene alive with vividness and authenticity.
