Diagram of the Earth during the Carboniferous period, 1922
Diagram of the Earth during the Carboniferous period, 1922. Land is represented by the unshaded areas, deep sea by the areas shaded with diagonal lines and shallow water with horizontal lines. From an article by Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) on his theory of Continental Drift published in Discovery, London, 1922. Wegener postulated that the continents had not always occupied their present locations, but had moved across the Earths surface over geological history. Wegeners theory was not widely accepted until the 1950s, but is today explained by the theory of Plate Tectonics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a diagram of the Earth during the Carboniferous period, created in 1922 by Alfred Wegener. The image depicts land areas as unshaded regions, deep sea as areas shaded with diagonal lines, and shallow water marked with horizontal lines. This illustration was featured in an article written by Wegener on his groundbreaking theory of Continental Drift, which was published in Discovery magazine. Wegener's revolutionary hypothesis proposed that continents had not always occupied their current positions but had instead moved across the Earth's surface throughout geological history. Although initially met with skepticism, his theory gained widespread acceptance only in the 1950s when it was explained by the concept of Plate Tectonics. The photograph provides a glimpse into Wegener's pioneering work and highlights his significant contributions to geology and our understanding of Earth's dynamic nature. It serves as a testament to scientific progress and reminds us that ideas once considered radical can eventually shape our understanding of the world. This historical artifact captures both the beauty of science and its ability to challenge established beliefs. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to a time when minds were being expanded through innovative thinking and new discoveries were reshaping our perception of the planet we call home.
