EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Hedged Round With Steel and Concrete, the 100-Inch Reflector" takes us back to the industrial marvels of the 1930s. The image showcases a massive reflecting telescope enclosed within a fortress-like structure made of steel and concrete. Its sheer size is awe-inspiring, as it dominates the frame with its imposing presence. The photograph offers a glimpse into an era where engineering prowess was at its peak. Sir John Alexander Hammerton, renowned for his literary contributions, curated this remarkable piece in his book "Our Wonderful World". Through this publication, he aimed to capture the essence of human achievement across various disciplines. The contrast between the cold metal exterior and intricate machinery inside creates an intriguing juxtaposition. It symbolizes humanity's quest for knowledge and exploration through scientific advancements. This monochrome masterpiece not only highlights technological progress but also serves as a testament to human ingenuity. As we delve into this vintage photograph, we are transported to an era when innovation knew no bounds. The unknown photographer behind this image has skillfully captured both the grandeur and intricacy of this reflector telescope—a true marvel that stands tall against time itself.
