EDITORS COMMENTS
In this gelatin silver print from April 24,1901, we are transported back to the late 19th to early 20th century in Germany. The photograph features two prominent figures of that time, Max Wolf and Joh. Palisa, both renowned for their contributions to astronomy. Max Wolf was a German astronomer who made significant advancements in astrophotography and spectroscopy. His pioneering work led to the discovery of numerous asteroids and contributed greatly to our understanding of the universe. Joh. Palisa, another notable figure depicted in the image, was an Austrian astronomer known for his extensive observations of minor planets or asteroids. He discovered over one hundred such celestial bodies during his career. The photograph itself is part of a series called "Photographische Sternkarten" which translates to "Photographic Star Charts". These star charts were likely used by astronomers like Wolf and Palisa as valuable tools for mapping out the night sky and identifying various celestial objects. Quint Lox's capture beautifully encapsulates the spirit of scientific exploration prevalent during this era. It serves as a testament to these brilliant minds' dedication and passion for unraveling the mysteries beyond our planet Earth. This print not only offers us a glimpse into history but also reminds us of humanity's insatiable curiosity about what lies among the stars above us.
