EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Total Reflection" we are transported back to the 19th century, where science and philosophy intertwined in a mesmerizing dance. This remarkable print, part of a private collection, showcases the brilliance of the English School's artistic mastery. The image itself is an illustration for "Natural Philosophy" by A Privat Deschanel, a renowned work that delved into the wonders of the natural world. It was published in Blackie's sixth edition in 1882, serving as a popular guide for those eager to explore scientific concepts. The scene depicted here is one of total reflection - a phenomenon that fascinated scientists and philosophers alike during this era. The artist skillfully captures the moment when light encounters an interface between two different mediums at such an angle that it reflects entirely back into its original medium. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel ourselves being drawn into its ethereal glow. The intricate details and meticulous shading bring forth a sense of wonderment and curiosity about our universe's inner workings. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate not only the beauty within art but also how it intertwines with scientific exploration. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans sought to understand nature's mysteries through observation and contemplation. Let this enchanting engraving inspire you to delve deeper into both history and science – two realms forever entwined on humanity's quest for knowledge.
