EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the early 17th century, offering a glimpse into the world of surveying. The image showcases a method employed during that time to measure the depth of wells using a quadrant fitted with a plumb line and marked with shadow scales. The engraving, featured in Robert Fludd's renowned work "Utriusque cosmi. . . historia" transports us to an era where mathematical instruments played a crucial role in scientific exploration. With its intricate details and precise lines, this print captures the essence of surveying as both an art and science. As we examine this image, we are reminded of the importance placed on geometry, angle measurement, and calculation in early surveying practices. It serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of understanding our surroundings through mathematics. In this monochrome masterpiece, Fludd skillfully depicts the concept of depth measurement by utilizing shadow scales on his quadrant. This technique demonstrates how shadows cast by sunlight can be harnessed for practical purposes such as determining well depths accurately. Preserved within Oxford Science Archive, this print stands as a testament to Robert Fludd's contribution to both mathematics and cartography during the seventeenth century. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire awe among those who appreciate the intersection between artistry and scientific exploration.
