摘要
The article discusses about the use of 'caricatures of scientists' in the construction of an accurate historical record. The article, 'Caricatures of Chemists as Contributions to the History of Chemistry' contains portraits and caricatures of 11 scientists from the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. Wilhelm Prandtl's article traces the ridicule of chemists' appearances to 16th century drawings of the generic alchemist in tattered clothing pursuing his deceptive craft in jumbled surroundings.
