EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of engineering education. Taken in 1884 at University College, Dundee, Scotland, it showcases the installation of Swan incandescent lamps in their engineering classrooms. The image exudes an air of intellectual pursuit as male students diligently study under the warm glow of these innovative electric lamps. The composition highlights the importance of lighting in creating an ideal learning environment. Each workbench is meticulously arranged with books, tools, and papers, while the illumination from the lamps brings focus to every detail. The room itself emanates a sense of tranquility and concentration. In this snapshot from the 19th century, we witness not only technological progress but also a dedication to knowledge and advancement. These young men are immersed in their studies, driven by a thirst for understanding that transcends time. The engraving beautifully captures this scene with its intricate details and careful shading. It transports us back to a bygone era when electricity was still relatively new and awe-inspiring. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but appreciate how far we have come since then. Yet it also serves as a reminder that education has always been at the forefront of human development – constantly evolving alongside our ever-changing world.
