EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching by John Kay, we are transported back to the year 1787, where Joseph Black, a renowned Scottish chemist, is seen delivering a lecture at the University of Glasgow. Known for his groundbreaking Theory of Latent Heat, Black's contributions to the field of chemistry were truly revolutionary. The image captures the essence of an era when scientific exploration and intellectual curiosity flourished. As Black stands before his audience with confidence and authority, one can only imagine the profound impact his words had on those fortunate enough to witness this momentous occasion. Kay's meticulous attention to detail in this etching allows us to appreciate not only Black's commanding presence but also the grandeur of the university setting. The intricate lines and shading bring depth and life to every aspect of the scene. This print serves as a testament to both Black's brilliance as a scientist and Kay's skill as an artist. It invites us into a world where knowledge was sought after with fervor and education was highly valued. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we cannot help but be inspired by these great minds who paved the way for future scientific advancements.
