EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of infra-red photographs, taken by the pioneering American physicist Professor Robert Williams Wood, showcases the breathtaking landscapes of Sicily, Palermo, Florence, Syracuse, and Girgenti, captured through the unique lens of infra-red rays. The images, exhibited at the Royal Society of Photography in 1911, represent a groundbreaking moment in the history of photography and science. Professor Wood, a distinguished figure in the field of physics, is renowned for his innovative approach to experimentation and his ability to push the boundaries of scientific discovery. His fascination with infra-red photography began in the late 19th century, and he spent years perfecting the technique, which involved the use of sensitive plates and long exposures to capture the invisible light spectrum. The resulting images, bathed in a surreal, otherworldly glow, offer a striking contrast to the familiar landscapes of Sicily and Italy. The vibrant hues of violet and red, usually hidden from the human eye, are brought to life in these captivating images. The lush greenery of the landscapes takes on a deep, rich tone, while the skies are transformed into a canvas of vibrant reds and purples. These infra-red photographs not only represent a significant milestone in the history of photography but also offer a unique perspective on the natural world. Professor Wood's pioneering work continues to inspire and captivate audiences, reminding us of the endless possibilities that lie beyond the visible spectrum.
