Snow crystals
Snow crystals. Historical artwork showing the characteristic symmetrical shapes found in snowflakes. The structure of frozen water molecules means that a hexagonal lattice is the only stable crystalline form. A perfect snow crystal would be a regular hexagon, but a variety of meteorological factors lead to imperfections, causing beautiful branching shapes. As no two snow crystals are subjected to exactly the same conditions, no two form identical shapes. Artwork published in The Atmosphere, by Camille Flammarion (1873)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Snow Crystals" showcases the mesmerizing symmetrical shapes found in snowflakes. The artwork, published in 1873 by Camille Flammarion, highlights the unique structure of frozen water molecules that give rise to a hexagonal lattice as the only stable crystalline form. While a perfect snow crystal would ideally be a regular hexagon, various meteorological factors introduce imperfections resulting in stunning branching patterns. The illustration beautifully captures the intricate and diverse nature of these frozen wonders. Each snowflake takes on its own distinct shape due to different environmental conditions it encounters during formation. This makes every single one truly unique and adds an element of enchantment to their existence. The monochrome drawing evokes a sense of purity and elegance, emphasizing the physical and chemical aspects behind these delicate formations. It also hints at the mathematical and geometrical principles involved in their creation. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of winter's icy embrace and how it transforms our surroundings into magical landscapes adorned with countless variations of these exquisite crystals. They serve as reminders of both biological marvels within nature and important elements studied within meteorology. Science Photo Library has once again captured not just an image but also the essence behind this natural phenomenon through this remarkable piece that celebrates both artistry and scientific curiosity.
