Truth Emerges from the Well of Knowledge: A 1910 Illustration of Progress and the Pursuit of Scientific Discovery This illustration, titled "Truth is in the well," dates back to August 10, 1910, and showcases the woman personifying Progress standing by a well. The well is constructed from various stones representing institutions dedicated to the advancement of knowledge and scientific research, such as Experiment Stations, Libraries, Universities, Astronomical Observatories, Surgical Clinics, Social Settlements, and Schools of Geology. Progress is seen lowering a bucket labeled "Scientific Research" into the well, as she strives to uncover the truth hidden within. The counterweight of the bucket is held by a group of individuals, each labeled with outdated beliefs and prejudices, including Oldfogyism, Intolerance, Bigamy, Superstition, Podsnappery, Anti-vivisection, Sentimentalism, and Ignorance. This illustration symbolizes the ongoing struggle between the forces of progress and the obstacles that hinder the pursuit of knowledge and scientific discovery. The image serves as a reminder that progress and truth can only be attained through the relentless pursuit of knowledge and the rejection of outdated beliefs and superstitions. The intricate details of the illustration, with its meticulously labeled stones and figures, highlight the importance of various institutions and their role in the quest for truth and knowledge. The use of vivid colors and dynamic composition adds to the overall impact of the image, making it a fascinating visual representation of the human spirit's unyielding quest for knowledge and truth.
