EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Johann Heinrich Schulze, a prominent figure in the field of anatomy during the 17th and 18th centuries. Serving as a professor at Altdorf, his contributions to the history of photography are truly remarkable. In 1725, Schulze made an intriguing observation that would revolutionize the world of science and art forever. It was during this year that he noticed an extraordinary phenomenon: when silver nitrate was exposed to light, it began to darken. This groundbreaking discovery laid the foundation for future advancements in photography and became a pivotal moment in its evolution. Schulze's keen eye and scientific curiosity allowed him to recognize this transformative effect. His findings not only fascinated scholars but also paved the way for countless photographers who would follow in his footsteps. By understanding how light interacts with certain substances like silver nitrate, artists were able to capture images through various photographic processes. This particular image is taken from "Icones Virorum" by Friedrich Roth-Scholtz, published in Nuremberg in 1725. It serves as a testament to Schulze's significant impact on both medicine and photography alike. As we admire this historical photograph, let us acknowledge Johann Heinrich Schulze's invaluable contribution to our visual culture and scientific progress – forever immortalized through his pioneering work with silver nitrate and light exposure.
