EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage image transports us back in time to the world of scientific discovery and innovation, specifically to the laboratory of Henry Augustus Rowland at Johns Hopkins University in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases a range of X-ray equipment that was instrumental in the pioneering research conducted by this esteemed physicist. Henry Augustus Rowland (1848-1901) was an American physicist who made significant contributions to the fields of spectroscopy and electromagnetism. His laboratory at Johns Hopkins University, established in 1884, was one of the first research laboratories in the United States dedicated solely to the study of physics. In this photograph, we can see various X-ray machines and related equipment, including a large X-ray tube, a lead-lined enclosure, and a fluoroscope. These tools allowed Rowland and his team to study the internal structures of various materials, revolutionizing the fields of medicine and materials science. The image exudes an air of intrigue and excitement, as scientists of the Victorian and Edwardian eras peered into the unknown, using X-rays to reveal the hidden world beneath the surface. The lantern slide format of the photograph adds to its historical charm, further emphasizing the importance of this discovery in the annals of scientific history.
