EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed diagram of the Earth during the Carboniferous period, providing us with a glimpse into our planet's ancient past. The image is divided into distinct sections, each represented by unique patterns. Unshaded areas depict vast stretches of land, giving us an idea of how continents were positioned during this era. Diagonal lines symbolize deep sea regions, reminding us of the immense and mysterious depths that lay beneath the surface. The presence of horizontal lines signifies shallow waters, highlighting the intricate balance between land and sea during this period. This fascinating illustration was originally featured in an article written by Alfred Wegener (1880-1930), who introduced his groundbreaking theory on Continental Drift in 1915. Published in Discovery magazine in London back in 1922, Wegener's hypothesis revolutionized our understanding of geophysics and reshaped scientific discourse. As we gaze upon this remarkable visual representation from over a century ago, we are reminded of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our planet's history and its ever-changing nature. It serves as a testament to both scientific progress and human ingenuity as we continue to unravel the mysteries that lie within our Earth's geological past.
