EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a historical print of a remarkable invention from the 17th century. The image features a diving bell built by the renowned English astronomer, geophysicist, mathematician, meteorologist, and physicist Edmond Halley in 1691. Published around 1870 as part of Les Merveilles de la Science (The Wonders of Science), this engraving provides us with an intriguing glimpse into the past. The diving bell is depicted as a rigid chamber-like device designed to explore the depths of the ocean. This technological marvel allowed divers to descend underwater while remaining protected within its confines. With its sturdy construction and scientific ingenuity, Halley's creation revolutionized deep-sea exploration during that era. As we admire this historical artifact captured through photography by Ken Welsh, we are transported back in time to witness one of humanity's early attempts at uncovering the mysteries hidden beneath our vast oceans. The illustration beautifully captures both the scientific curiosity and technological advancements prevalent during this period. Through this photograph, we can appreciate not only Halley's contribution to science but also how far we have come in understanding and exploring our planet's aquatic realms. It serves as a reminder that every great leap forward in history starts with bold individuals like Edmund Halley who dared to push boundaries and expand human knowledge.
