EDITORS COMMENTS
This line engraving from the 19th century showcases Alexander Graham Bell's remarkable invention - the metal detector. Created in 1881, this groundbreaking device was specifically designed to locate the bullet that had tragically lodged itself within President James Garfield's body after his assassination attempt. The intricate diagram depicted in this print highlights Bell's ingenious idea and induction principles behind his metal detector. With its delicate balance of late American innovation, it symbolizes a pivotal moment in history when science and technology converged to serve justice and save lives. Beyond its association with President Garfield's unfortunate incident, this image invites us to appreciate the brilliance of Alexander Graham Bell as an inventor. Known primarily for his revolutionary work on the telephone, this lesser-known creation demonstrates his versatility and commitment to advancing society through scientific breakthroughs. While it is important not to confuse this metal detector with any commercial use or affiliation with a particular company, we can still marvel at how such an invention paved the way for future developments in detecting hidden metallic objects. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of our relentless pursuit of knowledge and progress, encapsulating both tragedy and triumph within its intricate engravings.
