Destilleerapparatuur 1683 - 1733

This detailed engraving by Bernard Picart, dated between 1683 and 1733, depicts various types of distillation apparatuses. The artwork showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of the era, with intricate drawings of glassware, furnaces, and other equipment used in the chemical process. It offers a glimpse into the world of 17th and 18th-century science, specifically the practice of distillation, and would have been of interest to both scientists and the general public. The piece is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum, a testament to the museum's commitment to preserving Dutch scientific heritage.
