EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Sopwith Model XI, a wooden geological model created by the renowned 19th century geologist and civil engineer, Thomas Sopworth. The intricately carved model represents the complex interface between faulted strata of rocks, with vertical veins intersecting horizontally. Sopwith's innovative models were instrumental in the mining industry, as they accurately depicted geological situations with faults, folds, inclines, and strata that were particularly relevant to extracting minerals. The Model XI, with its block-like composition and layered stratification, is a testament to Sopwith's expertise in geological representation. The wooden model, with its flat surfaces and precise carvings, offers a clear visualization of the intricacies of the earth's geological structure. The Victorian-era scientist's pioneering work in geology and civil engineering revolutionized the way geological features were understood and represented. This photograph, with its studio shot and white background, highlights the historical significance of Sopwith's models in the field of geology. The wooden model, with its veins intersecting at various angles, serves as a reminder of the complexities hidden beneath the earth's surface.
