Photo Prints from Mary Evans Picture Library
Sopwith Model XII: Mineral vein denudation
This model shows the influence of surface denudation and faulting on inclined strata, with increased complexity to the situation in Model VII. The discontinuity between the beds as viewed at the surface can be seen. Thomas Sopwith (1803 - 1879) was an eminent geologist and civil engineer who pioneered methods of representing geological features. This set of wooden models were designed to represent geological situations with faults, folds, inclines and strata that were particularly relevant to the mining industry

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Sopwith Model XII, a wooden geological model depicting mineral vein denudation and the intricate interplay between surface denudation and faulting in inclined strata. The model, designed by the renowned 19th century geologist and civil engineer Thomas Sopwith (1803-1879), offers an educational and insightful representation of the complex geological processes that shape our landscapes. Sopwith's innovative models were instrumental in the mining industry, providing a tangible and accurate means of understanding the intricacies of geological features, including faults, folds, and strata. In this particular model, the discontinuity between the mineral-bearing strata as viewed at the surface is evident, highlighting the importance of understanding the subsurface geology. The intricate carving and stratification of the wooden model exemplify the level of detail and craftsmanship that defined Sopwith's work. The mineral vein, which runs through the model, is depicted as eroded and denuded, reflecting the natural processes that shape our landforms over time. This studio shot of the Model XII, with its white background and minimalist setting, allows for a clear and unobstructed view of the geological features, inviting closer examination and appreciation of the intricacies of the Earth's history. The model serves as a testament to Sopwith's pioneering work in geological representation and his enduring legacy in the field of geosciences.
