EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Isobars and Winds, North Polar" takes us back to the 19th century when meteorology was still in its early stages. The image, a colour lithograph by an English School artist, is part of a private collection and showcases the intricate mapping of global weather at that time. The artwork was originally created as an illustration for the Atlas of Meteorology, specifically Volume III of Bartholomews Physical Atlas. This comprehensive set of maps provided valuable insights into atmospheric conditions and climate patterns worldwide. It was prepared by J G Bartholomew and A J Herbertson under the auspices of The Royal Geographical Society in 1899. In this visually striking piece, we witness isobars (lines connecting points with equal atmospheric pressure) intricately intertwined with wind patterns around the North Pole. These elements were crucial for meteorologists to understand temperature changes, forecasting techniques, and global weather phenomena. As we gaze upon this historical gem, it serves as a reminder of how far scientific methods have evolved since then. Today's advancements in meteorological science enable us to make more accurate predictions about our ever-changing world. However, this print allows us to appreciate the foundations laid by these early pioneers in understanding our planet's complex climate system. With its rich history and scientific significance, "Isobars and Winds, North Polar" transports us back to a time when exploration met innovation on the frontiers of knowledge about Earth's atmosphere.
