EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) showcases the brilliant German physicist, Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851), during a groundbreaking moment in scientific history. In this wood engraving dating back to around 1880, we witness Oersted's remarkable discovery that forever changed our understanding of electricity and magnetism. With an intense focus on his face, Oersted is depicted in the midst of conducting his famous experiment. As he passes an electric current through a wire, a magnetic needle positioned nearby reacts unexpectedly. This astonishing observation led him to conclude that there exists a profound connection between electricity and magnetism – laying the foundation for the field of electromagnetism. The image beautifully captures both the excitement and curiosity radiating from Oersted as he unravels this revolutionary phenomenon. His pioneering work not only transformed our comprehension of these fundamental forces but also paved the way for countless technological advancements that continue to shape our modern world. As we gaze upon this historic wood engraving, we are reminded of Oersted's immense contribution to science and his unwavering dedication to unraveling nature's mysteries. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and reminds us that even seemingly ordinary moments can hold extraordinary discoveries within them.
