EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ingenuity of a hand hydraulic water pump, created in 1678 by the renowned artist Athanasius Kircher. The detailed engraving showcases Kircher's meticulous attention to detail as he sought to describe the physical makeup of the earth in his groundbreaking work Mundus subterraneus. In this illustration, we see a full-length depiction of a German man operating the hydraulic water pump with great effort and determination. The concept of running water amenities was revolutionary during this time period, making this object an important symbol of progress and innovation. Kircher's print transports us back to the seventeenth century, providing a glimpse into the technological advancements that were shaping society at that time. With its monochrome aesthetic, it exudes a sense of historical authenticity while highlighting Kircher's artistic skill. As we admire this artwork today, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of water management and infrastructure. This print serves as a testament to human creativity and our ability to harness nature for our benefit. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving this valuable piece from history and allowing us to appreciate Athanasius Kircher's contribution to both art and science.
