EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Meeting of the British Association at Sheffield" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases a gathering of esteemed individuals from various fields, united by their passion for knowledge and scientific exploration. The setting is Strafford Gate in Sheffield, where this prestigious meeting took place in 1879. Among the prominent figures captured in this scene are the ex-president of the British Science Association, Major Serpa Pinto, Captain Cameron, and Professor Allman. They can be seen engaged in animated discussions with their fair associates. Radiant matter seems to be one of the topics under discussion as African explorers share their insights on this fascinating subject. Meanwhile, nearby stands Wentworth House - an architectural marvel that adds grandeur to the backdrop. The presence of Mr. Spottiswoode and Mr. Crookes hints at the involvement of mathematics and steel industries during this era. It's worth noting that Phoenix Bessemer Works played a crucial role during these times. As we delve into this intriguing print from Bridgeman Images' collection, it becomes evident that it encapsulates not only a specific event but also an entire epoch characterized by intellectual curiosity and groundbreaking discoveries.
