Gilberts magnetic dip circle

Dip circle. 17th century illustration of a magnetic dip circle. This is an instrument to determine the angle between the horizon and the Earths magnetic field at a given point on the surface. At the magnetic poles the dip is +/- 90 degrees, the field lines are perpendicular to the ground. This illustration was first published in De magnete by William Gilbert, printed in London in 1600

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gilbert's magnetic dip circle, an extraordinary 17th-century instrument used to measure the angle between the Earth's magnetic field and the horizon at a specific location. Crafted with precision and scientific ingenuity, this illustration from William Gilbert's renowned book "De magnete" transports us back to the era of enlightenment. The intricate diagram depicts a wooden circle adorned with delicate markings, symbolizing the measurement of Earth's magnetism. At its core lies a powerful magnet, surrounded by field lines that intersect with the ground at various angles. This mesmerizing image reminds us of how early scientists sought to unravel the mysteries of our planet through meticulous observation and experimentation. Intriguingly, this dip circle reveals that at Earth's magnetic poles, where true north or south resides, the dip reaches an astonishing +/- 90 degrees. In these regions, where nature defies gravity itself, we witness perpendicular alignment between magnetic field lines and terra firma. Todd-White Art Photography has masterfully captured this historical artifact in stunning monochrome tones. Through their lens, we are transported into a world where science meets artistry - where knowledge is preserved for generations to come. Let this remarkable print serve as a reminder of humanity's ceaseless quest for understanding our universe and appreciating the wonders it holds within its grasp.
