An Appeal from Science, 1887
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a thought-provoking print by Edward Linley Sambourne that captures the essence of the mid-Victorian period. In this allegorical artwork, Science extends her hand to John Bull, symbolizing the growing prominence of scientific advancements during that era. The mid-19th century witnessed remarkable progress in technology and medicine, which elevated Science's status as an influential force. The concept of a dedicated museum for Science and Technology had recently been proposed, reflecting society's recognition of its significance. Sambourne's caricature serves as a satirical commentary on this appeal for support. The engraving portrays Science as a female figure reaching out to John Bull, representing the British public. Her gesture embodies progress and enlightenment while emphasizing the importance of education and scientific institutions in driving societal development forward. Sambourne's monochrome depiction adds depth to his message by focusing attention on key elements such as the figures themselves and their interaction. Through this print, he invites viewers to consider their role in supporting educational initiatives like museums devoted to science. As we reflect on "An Appeal from Science" we are reminded of how far humanity has come since the 19th century. This heritage image partnership with Heritage Images allows us to appreciate Sambourne's artistic skill while contemplating our ongoing responsibility towards fostering scientific knowledge and innovation for future generations.
