EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the mesmerizing phenomenon of light refraction through a silver spoon submerged in a glass of water. Taken from below the surface, the image reveals an intriguing reflection resembling that of a mirror. The anonymous illustration dates back to 1925 and is part of a private collection. The image showcases the fascinating interplay between light, glass, and water. As rays of light pass through the glass and enter the water, they undergo refraction – bending or changing direction due to differences in density between air, glass, and water. In this case, total internal reflection occurs when all incident light is reflected back into the medium it came from - resulting in an almost magical effect. The engraving offers us a glimpse into early knowledge about optics during the 20th century. It serves as a reminder that even simple everyday objects like crockery can hold hidden wonders waiting to be discovered through observation and experimentation. Stefano Bianchetti's skillful capture not only highlights scientific principles but also evokes curiosity about our world's natural phenomena. This timeless artwork reminds us of how much we can learn by simply observing our surroundings with open eyes and minds.
