Abstract
Description
The 19th-century German chemist, August Wilhelm Hofmann (1818-1892), was famous for his designs of chemical demonstration apparatus. The Oesper Collections contain several surviving examples of these devices, though they have long since vanished from the chemistry lecture hall itself.
