EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant mind of William Henry Bragg, an eminent English physicist of the early 20th century. Known as the founder of X-ray crystallography, Bragg revolutionized the field of science with his groundbreaking discoveries. In this image, we see him engrossed in his work, using an X-ray spectrometer to delve into the mysteries of matter. The partnership between father and son is also highlighted here, as Bragg shared a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1915 with his talented offspring, Sir William Lawrence Bragg. Their collaboration paved the way for significant advancements in understanding atomic structures. With a distinguished bald head and an intense gaze, Bragg exudes both wisdom and determination. This portrait showcases not only his dedication to scientific exploration but also his contribution to society through research and innovation. Set against a monochrome backdrop, this photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia while capturing the essence of scientific discovery during that era. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like William Henry Bragg shaped our understanding of physics and left an indelible mark on history. As we admire this remarkable image from Oxford Science Archive's collection curated by Print Collector1, we are reminded once again that great minds can change the world through their relentless pursuit of knowledge.
