The Protractor
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving from the 19th century that showcases the marriage of art and science. Created by an unknown European School artist, this print captures the essence of knowledge and exploration during this era. The image depicts a meticulously detailed protractor, a tool used for measuring angles in mathematics and engineering. The intricate engravings on its surface highlight the precision and craftsmanship involved in creating such scientific instruments. This particular print was featured as an illustration in Gaston Tissandier's book "Popular Scientific Recreations" published in 1885. It serves as a testament to the importance of disseminating scientific knowledge to the general public during this time. Rendered in black and white, the stark contrast adds depth to every line, making it visually striking. The historical significance of "The Protractor" cannot be overstated; it represents not only advancements in technology but also symbolizes humanity's insatiable thirst for understanding our world. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of history through their fine art collection. As we gaze upon "The Protractor" we are reminded of how far we have come while acknowledging that there is still so much more to discover.
