EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a model of David Hughes' groundbreaking experiment from 1876. The image features a wooden board with three nails and connecting wires, ingeniously designed to act as sound detectors. Against a clean white background in a studio setting, the simplicity of this invention is highlighted. The vertical composition allows us to appreciate the historical significance of this 19th-century style experiment. With no people present in the frame, our attention is solely drawn towards the resonant objects on display. Hughes' pioneering research in electronics and science and technology comes to life through this meticulously crafted model. Each element has been carefully placed directly above one another, emphasizing their interconnectedness and functionality. As we delve into history, it becomes evident that this experiment played a crucial role in shaping our understanding of sound detection. Clive Streeter's expert photography captures every detail of this remarkable piece, allowing us to marvel at its ingenuity even today. This print serves as both an educational tool for those interested in scientific advancements and an artistic representation of innovation. It reminds us that great discoveries often stem from humble beginnings – just like these three nails connected by wires on a simple wooden board.
