Brevetele lui Alfred Nobel, dispărute timp de cinci decenii, redescoperite într-o casă de vacanță în Suediaea noastră”

Twelve significant patents belonging to the Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel, lost for nearly fifty years, were discovered this summer in a vacation house in Sweden, according to an announcement from the Nobel Foundation, cited by news agency AFP.

Alfred Nobel, known as the father of dynamite, held hundreds of patents in various countries. Most of these patents related to methods for producing and using explosives based on nitroglycerin.

Hanna Stjärne, head of the Nobel Foundation, explained that a person working for an auction house informed them that a couple from Blekinge, in southern Sweden, found these documents in their holiday home. After retrieving and examining the papers, they realized their significant value. The Foundation intends to preserve these documents for future generations.

This discovery provides a rare glimpse into Alfred Nobel’s life. Stjärne mentioned that examining these papers allows one to understand how life was about 150 years ago and offers insights into Nobel’s travels and work across Europe.

Among the recovered items is a rare patent from 1865, noted Ulf Larsson, curator at the Nobel Museum. This patent dates back to the early phase of Nobel’s career as an inventor. It marks a crucial period when he invented the detonator and was developing dynamite.
