EDITORS COMMENTS
In this artist's impression, we are transported back to the bustling workshop of James Watt in Glasgow circa 1760. The image depicts a momentous meeting between two Scottish pioneers - Joseph Black and James Watt - whose contributions to science and engineering would shape the course of history. Joseph Black, renowned chemist extraordinaire, pays a visit to his esteemed colleague and friend, James Watt. As he steps into the workshop nestled within the precincts of Glasgow University, one can sense an air of excitement and innovation that permeates the space. Watt himself is depicted engrossed in his work as an instrument maker for the university. His genius mind constantly at play with ideas that would revolutionize steam engine technology forever. Meanwhile, Black stands by his side, their animated conversation echoing through the room as they exchange thoughts on scientific breakthroughs yet to come. This snapshot from "Les Merveilles de la Science" by Louis Figuier transports us back in time to witness firsthand these brilliant minds colliding in pursuit of knowledge and progress. It serves as a testament to Scotland's rich heritage in science and invention. As we gaze upon this print capturing a pivotal moment in history, we cannot help but marvel at how these two visionaries paved the way for future generations of scientists and engineers alike.
