I was thrilled to discover your website and find that you were offering multiple products with the image of the Filben Maestro as my grandfather, William Filben, was the inventor. I will be framing this photo for my home and anticipate ordering many other items in the near future for my large extended family

When I saw this photo of my hero, I had to obtain it because as you can see in the photo, I have Babe Ruth when he was young & strong initially with the Yankees. I want to truly thank the artist for his photo!

Terrific concert photo of Madonna back in the '80s. I hope the owner of this series featured in Life Magazine will make more available. They are stunning.

Artist's Description
Separating gold from its ores, engraving. The workers are using quicksilver (mercury), which has a chemical affinity for gold. When mercury is added to finely crushed ore it dissolves the gold and forms amalgam, a process called amalgamation. Un-reacted mercury is removed from the amalgam by straining it through leather (7). The amalgam is then heated in an athanor furnace (1). Mercury has a lower melting temperature than gold, allowing its vapour to be collected in a receiver (3) and leaving pure gold (12). Taken from The Laws of Art and Nature, in Knowing, Judging, Assaying, Fining, Refining and Inlarging the Bodies of Confin'd Metals (1683) John Pettus, a translation of the work by Lazarus Erckern.
