James Joule, British physicist
James Joule (1818-1889), British physicist, measuring the heating in wires resulting from the passage of an electric current. Joule was interested in the physical properties of heat and, in 1840, determined that the heat generated in a wire by an electrical current was proportional to the resistance and the square of the current (Joules Law). In 1843 he determined the amount of mechanical work required to produce a given amount of heat. This work established the equivalence of heat and other forms of energy, and the principle of conservation of energy: energy is neither created nor destroyed. Taken from Physique Populaire, 1891

31"x27" (79x69cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 24x20 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 31x27 inches (787x685mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the brilliant mind of James Joule, a renowned British physicist who made groundbreaking discoveries in the field of thermodynamics. In this image, taken from Physique Populaire in 1891, we see Joule deeply engrossed in an experiment to measure the heating produced by an electric current passing through wires. Joule's pioneering work on heat and energy revolutionized our understanding of these fundamental concepts. In 1840, he established Joule's Law, which states that the heat generated in a wire is directly proportional to its resistance and the square of the current flowing through it. This discovery laid the foundation for many subsequent advancements in electrical engineering. Furthermore, three years later, Joule determined the amount of mechanical work required to produce a specific quantity of heat. This crucial finding not only demonstrated the equivalence between different forms of energy but also introduced us to one of nature's most profound principles: conservation of energy - that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. As we gaze upon this remarkable illustration depicting a moment frozen in time from over a century ago, we are reminded not only of James Joule's immense contributions but also his unwavering curiosity and dedication as a scientist. His legacy continues to inspire generations after him as they strive towards unraveling new mysteries within physics and beyond.
