Theory of Continental Drift, 1922
Theory of Continental Drift, 1922. Diagram from an article by Alfred Wegener (1880-1930) on his theory of Continental Drift, published in Discovery, London, 1922. Wegener postulated that the continents had not always occupied their present locations, but had moved across the Earths surface over geological history. Wegeners theory was not widely accepted until the 1950s, but is today explained by the theory of Plate Tectonics

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the groundbreaking "Theory of Continental Drift" proposed by Alfred Wegener in 1922. The diagram, originally published in Discovery magazine, London, depicts Wegener's revolutionary idea that the continents had not always occupied their current positions but had instead shifted across Earth's surface throughout geological history. Although initially met with skepticism, Wegener's theory gained widespread acceptance in the 1950s and is now explained by the widely recognized concept of Plate Tectonics. This remarkable image captures a pivotal moment in scientific understanding as it illustrates how our world has undergone significant changes over time. The monochromatic aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia to this historical artifact while emphasizing its importance within geophysics and earth sciences. It serves as a visual reminder of how human curiosity and scientific exploration have continuously expanded our knowledge about the planet we inhabit. Alfred Lothar Wegener, a German scientist whose contributions to astronomy and geology were ahead of his time, authored this influential theory. His work challenged traditional beliefs about Earth's stability and forever changed our perception of continents' movement through space. This print from Heritage Images offers us an opportunity to reflect on the progress made in understanding our planet's dynamic nature while paying homage to one man's pioneering vision that reshaped modern science.
