EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of science. Taken in 1898 at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, it features the renowned British nuclear physicist JJ Thomson alongside his students. Joseph John Thomson, credited with discovering the electron, stands proudly at the center of this group portrait. The image showcases a distinguished gathering of minds who would go on to make groundbreaking contributions to physics. From left to right, we see SW Richardson and J Henry standing at the back row. In the middle row are EBH Wade, GA Shakespear, CTR Wilson (Charles Thomson Rees Wilson), Ernest Rutherford (later known as Baron Rutherford of Nelson), W Craig-Henderson, JH Vincent, and GB Bryan. Seated in front are J McClelland, C Child (the creator of this print), Paul Langevin from France (a notable physicist himself), JJ Thomson himself again for emphasis, J Zeleny, RS Willows, HA Wilson (Henry Augustus Wilson), and JSE Townsend. This photograph not only highlights an important scientific community but also provides insight into Victorian-era fashion and style. The men are dressed impeccably in suits befitting their academic stature. Preserved by Oxford Science Archive for posterity's sake and now available as a print collector's item through Heritage Images; this remarkable piece offers a glimpse into an era when great minds converged to unravel nature's mysteries within the hallowed halls of Cambridge University's Cavendish Laboratory.
