EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of copper pipe deposits. Taken at the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, UK, it offers a glimpse into the world of metal engineering and technological research. The image captures green copper-containing deposits inside a copper pipe, commonly known as verdigris. Verdigris is formed when cuprous oxide reacts with moisture and carbon dioxide, resulting in the formation of copper carbonate. This natural phenomenon adds an enchanting touch to this still life composition. The studio shot highlights every detail of these corroded pipes, emphasizing their historical significance. Dating back to 1987, this photograph represents a pivotal era in British technology and scientific exploration. It serves as a testament to the advancements made by the English engineers and researchers who worked tirelessly at the National Physical Laboratory. The aesthetic appeal of this image lies not only in its subject matter but also in its technical execution. The lighting and composition create a visually striking piece that draws viewers into the fascinating world of physics and corrosion studies. As we admire this remarkable artwork captured by Science Photo Library on behalf of the National Physical Laboratory (NPL), let us appreciate both its artistic value and its contribution to our understanding of materials science throughout history.
