Cole 1165: "The French translation of the first German edition was by Philippe-Frederic, baron de Dietrich (1748-1793) who added an Avis and, at the end, a section of notes". - Das Werk enthält die Entdeckung des Luftsauerstoffs und Stickstoffs, unabhängig und ca. zwei Jahre vor Priestley, der jedoch seine Entdeckung früher veröffentlichte. Aber nicht allein die Entdeckung des Sauerstoffs und Stickstoffs ließen die Schrift zu einem Meilenstein in der Geschichte der Chemie werden, Scheeles Experimente haben auch große Bedeutung für die Geschichte der Photographie: Scheele "hatte bereits 1777 mittels des durch ein Prisma zerlegten Sonnenspektrums die Farbempfindlichkeit von Chlorsilber beobachtet und festgestellt, daß die blauen Strahlen dieses schneller schwärzten. Er fand ferner die Unlöslichkeit von geschwärztem Chlorsilber in Ammoniak, womit ein erstes Fixiermittel gefunden war, doch wurde es später übersehen, und so wartete die Menschheit eben noch etwas länger auf das erste brauchbare und beständige photographische Verfahren" (Tillmanns, Gesch. der Photographie, 20). - Tls. unt.

After Gaspard Marsy (1624-1681) and Anselme Flamen (1647-1717), 'Boreas abducting Orithya'; and after François Girardon (1628-1715), 'Pluto abducting Proserpina',19th century, France,These patinated bronzes represent two abduction themes from Ovid's Metamorphoses. The first group showing the figure of Boreas, the Greek god of the north wind, abducting Orithyia of Athens and climbing over Zephyr. The second group shows the figure of Pluto, ruler of the Greek underworld, grabbing the goddess Proserpina (or Persephone) to take her to his realm, while her companion Cyane attempts in vain to stop him.These are bronze reductions of two large marble sculptures designed by Marsy and Girardon for the Parterre d'Eau in the garden of the château of Versailles, during the height of the reign of Louis XIV. The works in marble were executed from ca. 1677 and 1675 onwards, but since the initial plan for the Parterre d'Eau (four abduction groups as Four Elements) was modified during the 1680s, the finished sculptures were placed elsewhere in the garden. These marble sculptures became very popular as soon as they were installed at Versailles, which is why bronze reductions of the Boreas and Pluto groups were produced. These appeared in various sizes during the 1690s, and throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.,Boreas group: H 54,5 cm, Pluto group: H 56,5 cm,,
