EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print takes us back to the 19th century, where we witness a deep sea diver fully equipped with a rubber coated diving suit and helmet. The image is an engraving from Les Merveilles de la Science, published around 1870 by the French School. The diver's attire showcases the remarkable technological advancements of that era. The rubber coating on the suit provides protection against water pressure while enabling flexibility for underwater work. The helmet, fitted with a tank regulator, ensures a constant supply of air for breathing in the depths of the sea. This historical snapshot offers us a glimpse into an occupation that required immense courage and skill. Deep-sea divers played a crucial role in scientific exploration and underwater construction during this time period. The image not only highlights the ingenuity behind this invention but also serves as a testament to human curiosity and determination to conquer uncharted territories. It reminds us of how far technology has come since then, transforming our understanding of the world beneath our oceans. Ken Welsh's expert photography captures every intricate detail, allowing us to appreciate both the aesthetic beauty and historical significance of this mesmerizing piece.
