EDITORS COMMENTS
This fascinating engraving from 1857 offers a glimpse into the historical importance of the water in London's Hyde Park. The image shows a sample of water from the Serpentine, magnified an impressive 200 times. At that time, the water of the Serpentine was believed to be filled with epidemic miasma, making it a potential breeding ground for disease.
The upper portion of the Serpentine was particularly under scrutiny, as efforts were underway to clean up and purify the water. This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history when public health concerns were at the forefront of urban planning.
The intricate details revealed by this magnification highlight just how complex and diverse even seemingly ordinary samples of water can be. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of understanding and managing our environment.
