EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a pivotal moment in history - the birth of nuclear power. The artist's sketch depicts the first self-sustaining nuclear chain reactor, which was operated in Chicago on December 2,1942. This groundbreaking invention was built on a squash court under the West Stands of Chicago's Stagg Field. The image transports us to that fateful day when scientists made significant strides towards harnessing the immense power hidden within atoms. It symbolizes humanity's insatiable curiosity and relentless pursuit of knowledge, even amidst the chaos of World War II. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight both the complexity and elegance of this scientific marvel. We can almost feel the excitement radiating from those involved in this revolutionary experiment as they embarked on uncharted territory. This drawing serves as a reminder that every great discovery begins with an idea - an idea that has the potential to shape our world for better or worse. It is impossible not to ponder how this initial concept eventually led to more advanced technologies like atomic bombs and peaceful applications such as energy generation. As we gaze at this historic artwork, let us reflect upon mankind's capacity for innovation and its responsibility to wield these advancements ethically for future generations.
