EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Orange Wildman Whitehouse, a prominent figure in the field of science and technology during the 19th century. The engraving, originally published around 1870, captures Whitehouse's head and shoulders with remarkable detail. Whitehouse was not only an English surgeon but also held the esteemed position of chief electrician for the Atlantic Telegraph Company. His expertise and contributions were instrumental in laying down the transatlantic telegraph cable, a groundbreaking technological achievement at that time. In this portrait, Whitehouse exudes intelligence and determination. With his distinguished beard adding to his commanding presence, he personifies the essence of a dedicated scientist and industrialist. His deep understanding of telecommunications is evident as he gazes into the distance, perhaps contemplating future advancements in this rapidly evolving field. The image serves as a testament to both Whitehouse's individual accomplishments and the broader progress made by scientists during this era. It reminds us of their tireless efforts to push boundaries and connect people across vast distances through innovative technologies. Preserved within private collections today, this artwork from Les Merveilles de la Science offers us a glimpse into history – capturing not just one man's legacy but also highlighting humanity's relentless pursuit of scientific knowledge and technological advancement.
