EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of history from 1922 - a leaflet printed to accompany a set of 5 postcards published by the Natural History Museum in Great Britain. The focus of this collection is on British Meteorites, showcasing the fascinating world of meteorite science and exploration.
The leaflet provides valuable information about various meteorites found in Oxfordshire, England, including the Wold Cottage meteorite which fell in Launton. These stony meteorites belong to the L6 group, specifically classified as ordinary chondrites. Chondrites are some of the most primitive and oldest materials in our solar system, making them highly sought after for scientific study.
Displayed against a backdrop of European history and culture, these postcards offer a glimpse into the wonders of space that have fascinated humanity for centuries. The Natural History Museum's dedication to preserving and sharing knowledge about these celestial objects is evident through this beautifully crafted leaflet.
As we admire this snapshot from nearly a century ago, we are reminded of the enduring allure of meteorites and their role in expanding our understanding of the universe. This image serves as a testament to both scientific discovery and artistic expression, encapsulating a moment in time when curiosity about the cosmos was at its peak.
