Description

Depiction of the Hacienda Nueva de Fresnillo during silver reduction through the patio process. The Cerro de Proaño is visible in the background. Patio process: Low grade ore was crushed and ground into powder (through animal and human power), a mercury-silver mixture was created in which silver is chemically bound to mercury (the grey circles depicted in the painting), the rock and dirt particles were washed away and the evaporation of the mercury left the silver concentrate.

The mine and processing plant were under the control of the Zacatecas State Government and Gualdi was presumably commissioned by the state.

Licensing

This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1857, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1931.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
