Plate 43 from Mineralogie, Volume 5 (1790) by F.L. Swebach Desfontaines: A Glimpse into 18th Century Mineralogical Studies This exquisite print, titled "Azur de Cuivre Cristallise du Bannal de Temeswar," is an illustration from Plate 43 of Mineralogie, a comprehensive mineralogical work authored by François Louis Swebach Desfontaines and published in 1790. The plate showcases a stunning crystal specimen of Azurite, a copper mineral known for its vibrant blue color. Desfontaines, a renowned mineralogist and naturalist of the time, meticulously documented various mineral species in his extensive catalogue, Recuille complet de Mineralogie. This plate is a testament to his dedication and the advanced knowledge of mineralogy during the late 18th century. The illustration itself is a masterpiece, painstakingly created to provide an accurate representation of the mineral specimen for scholarly observation and study. The crystal in the illustration displays an intricate, complex structure, with each facet reflecting the azure hue characteristic of Azurite. The artist's skillful depiction of the mineral's form and color captures the essence of the specimen, allowing scholars and enthusiasts of the time to examine and learn from it, even from a distance. This print serves as a valuable historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the world of mineralogy during the late 1700s. It represents the curiosity, dedication, and pursuit of knowledge that characterized the scientific community during this period. Today, it remains an essential resource for mineralogists and historians, providing insights into the development of mineralogical studies and the evolution of scientific illustration.
