‎Exceedingly rare photo-album documenting the Danish vessel Tordenskjold’s mission in laying the very first telegraph cables in East Asia thereby connecting China and Japan to the global telegraph system. The album consists of photos taken aboard the vessel Tordenskjold, of Tordenskjold itself along with its crew, by an unknown photographer, and of photographs of the visited cities and surrounding areas by some of the finest photographers operating in East Asia at the time, such as John Thomson, William Floyd, Felice Beato and, in Egypt, Hippolyte Arnoux - all photographs presumably brought home by William Lund, Captain on board Tordenskjold. The present album depicts a pivotal moment in international relations and communications and does so through some of the earliest photos taken in China, Japan, and of the excavation of the Suez Canal. Submarine telegraph cables were first brought to China by Danish magnate Carl Fredrick Tietgen (1829-1901), a Dane who in 1870 set up the Great Northern China and Japan Extension Company. The company was created to build and operate a telegraph cable linking Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Japan with each other, and on to Vladivostok on Russia's east coast. From Vladivostok, a cable ran along the Trans-Siberian Railway, linking Hong Kong to telegraph networks in Britain, Europe, and America. Tietgen fought off strong, primarily English, competition and eventually won the concession to lay and operate new telegraph cables connecting Russia, China and Japan. It was a grand and risky project Tietgen and his partners were embarking on. Undersea cables would need to be laid in waters that had not been sounded, and cables were to be brought ashore on coasts where the prevailing conditions were not known and it was uncertain whether the respective governments would grant permission. Everything – cables, stations, wire, and apparatus – was to be brought from Europe and had to function as a coherent system. Two chartered English steamships ‘Cella’ and ‘Great Northern’ were to transport and lay the cables, and the propeller-driven Danish frigate ‘Tordenskjold’ was to sound the waters near Nagasaki and Vladivostok and also carry a relative small amount of cables and keep uninvited guests - which the South China Sea had plenty of – away. “As a small nation with negligible military resources, Denmark could provide a useful – politically neutral – centre for telegraph links to major European powers such as Britain, Russia and the emerging new power of Prussia. The Danes were able to utilize the technical know-how which had been accumulated with great difficulty, and occasionally heavy economic losses, in the preceding decades by British and American entrepreneurs. The competition between the Danish and British groups of telegraph entrepreneurs for first access to the Chinese market was preliminarily resolved when the directors of the two companies negotiated a secret agreement in May 1870. The Danish group had acquired an advantage in terms of timing by winning the Russian concession in 1869, and had to cover shorter distances by sea cables from Vladivostok to Nagasaki and Shanghai. But the British group had the advantage of better access to capital and a more extensive technical experience with submarine cable manufacture and operation. The essence of the agreement was that the line between Hong Kong and Shanghai should be established and operated by the Great Northern the companies would share the income for telegrams which passed this section of the line and they would run offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai jointly. The agreement provided the Danes with assured landing rights in Hong Kong and with British diplomatic support for attempts to secure landing rights in China. Permission to bring submarine telegraph cables into Chinese treaty ports was obtained in 1870 from the Chinese Government (i.e., the office of foreign affairs, known as the Zongli Yamen) by the British Minister in Peking, Thomas Wade. At the same time, the Danish government had dispatched a diplomatic envoy, Chamberlain Julius Sick, at the Great Northern’s expense to China and Japan to obtain the necessary concessions. The cable between Hong Kong and Shanghai was laid in 1870–1871 with the assistance of the frigate Tordenskjold, which the Danish government had generously allocated to the task. The Great Northern had a great deal of technical problems with the cables they had bought from the British manufacturer since the quality of the insulation was not as good as expected. Therefore, the official opening of the line between Shanghai and Hong Kong was delayed until April 1871. During the remainder of that year the company struggled to finish cable sections from Shanghai to Nagasaki, and from Nagasaki to Vladivostok. Communication between Shanghai and Europe via these cables and the Russian Siberian lines was officially inaugurated on 1 January 1872.” (Erik Baark: Wires, Codes and People The Great Northern Telegraph Company in China 1870–90) The album covers and illustrates one on the most fascinating periods in the process of internationalization in the late modern period: The Suez Canal had just opened and ‘Tordenskjold’ was the first Danish ship to sail through it. The submarine cables linked the major hubs in East Asia to the Western world and helped facilitate an unprecedented growth in the region. Overall, the laying of the submarine cable in 1870-71 was a transformative event for East Asia in general. It played a critical role in the area's economic and social development, helping to make it the global commercial center it is today. ‎

Il fait partie de l'école de sciences physiques. Il a ouvert en 1874 comme l'un des premiers laboratoires d'enseignement en Angleterre. Son nom honore Henry Cavendish, fameux physicien anglais de la fin du xviiie siècle. - The Cavendish Laboratory is the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge, and is part of the School of Physical Sciences. The laboratory was opened in 1874 on the New Museums Site as a laboratory for experimental physics and is named after the British chemist and physicist Henry Cavendish. The laboratory has had a huge influence on research in the disciplines of physics and biology. As of 2019, 30 Cavendish researchers have won Nobel Prizes. Notable discoveries to have occurred at the Cavendish Laboratory include the discovery of the electron, neutron, and structure of DNA. - Professor James Clerk Maxwell, the developer of electromagnetic theory, was a founder of the laboratory and the first Cavendish Professor of Physics. The Duke of Devonshire had given to Maxwell, as head of the laboratory, the manuscripts of Henry Cavendish's unpublished Electrical Works. The editing and publishing of these was Maxwell's main scientific work while he was at the laboratory. Cavendish's work aroused Maxwell's intense admiration and he decided to call the Laboratory (formerly known as the Devonshire Laboratory) the Cavendish Laboratory and thus to commemorate both the Duke and Henry Cavendish. Several important early physics discoveries were made here, including the discovery of the electron by J.J. Thomson (1897) the Townsend discharge by John Sealy Townsend, and the development of the cloud chamber by C.T.R. Wilson. Ernest Rutherford became Director of the Cavendish Laboratory in 1919. near fine copy, the binding is rather fine, without dust-jacket, supposingly as issued, the binding is nice and unmarked, a very small spot on the bottom part, the title on the spine is mainly erased, inside is fine, no markings, paper is fine, name of the former owner on the first page, complete of the 11 plates, with 3 wonderful portraits of Clerk Maxwell, Rayleigh and Thomson, 2 studies were written by J.J.

Il a découvert l'électron ainsi que les isotopes et a inventé la spectrométrie de masse ; il a analysé la propagation d'ondes guidées. Il a reçu le prix Nobel de physique de 1906 pour « ses recherches théoriques et expérimentales sur la conductivité électrique dans les gaz ». Ces recherches ont fourni les preuves de l'existence de l'électron. - En 1897, Thomson prouve expérimentalement l'existence des électrons, qui avait été prédite par George Johnstone Stoney en 1874. Cette découverte est le résultat d'une série d'expériences sur les rayons cathodiques. La même année, il énonce son modèle de l'atome, le modèle de plum pudding. - En 1906, Thomson montre que l'atome d'hydrogène ne contient qu'un électron. À cette époque certaines théories ont envisagé divers nombres d'électrons. En 1912, il étudie la composition des mélanges des ions positifs dits « ions anodiques ». Au cours de cette recherche, il mesure la déflexion d'un faisceau de néon ionisé (Ne+) qui passe à travers un champ magnétique ainsi qu'un champ électrique. Sur la plaque photographique qui lui sert comme détecteur, il observe deux taches (voir image) qui correspondent aux atomes de masses 20 et 22. Il conclut que le néon est constitué d'atomes de deux masses différentes ou isotopes. Cette séparation des atomes par leur masse est le premier exemple de la spectrométrie de masse, méthode qui est subséquemment mise au point par Francis William Aston (étudiant de Thomson) et par Arthur Jeffrey Dempster (source : Wikipedia)" 1 ligne de la préface de Cotton soulignée en rouge, sinon bel exemplaire, frais et propre‎

‎(London, Harrison and Sons, 1884). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1883. Vol. 174 - Part II. Pp. 707-721, textillustrations. Clean and fine.‎

‎First appearance (together with the 2 pp. extract in ""Proceedings"") of Thomsons first paper on the electrostatic unit of electricity.""In 1884 Lord Rayleigh,....resigned the Cavendish Professorship of Experimental Physics. Thomson had by then completed a few imperfect bits of laboratory work, including a determination, at Rayleigh's suggestion, of the ratio of the electrostatic to the electromagnetic units of electricity (the paper offered). Rayleigh had intended to collaborate in this work which, apart from its imperfection, was typical of the Cavendish during this area" but Thomson, unaware of many of the pitfalls, ran away with the project, published hastily, and gave his collegues, including the Professor, to doubt that he had any future in experimental physics. With these credits and his mathematics, he competed for the chair" much to his surprise, and to the great annoyance of some of his competitors, who included Fitzgerald, Glazenbrook, Larmor, reynolds, and Schuster, he was elected.""(DSB XIII, p. 365).‎

‎First appearance of Thomson's second paper on the Vortex Atom. In 1882 he had won a prize with the subject ""a general investigation of the action upon each other of two closed vortices in a perfect incompressible fluid""The first attempt to construct a physical model of an atom was made by Lord Kelvin in 1867. The main point was that in an ideal fluid, a vortex line is always composed of the same particles, it remains unbroken, so it is ring-like.""In fact, the investigations of vortices, trying to match their properties with those of atoms, led to a much better understanding of the hydrodynamics of vortices - the constancy of the circulation around a vortex, for example, is known as Kelvin's law. In 1882 another Thomson, J. J., won a prize for an essay on vortex atoms, and how they might interact chemically. After that, though, interest began to wane - Kelvin himself began to doubt that his model really had much to do with atoms, and when the electron was discovered by J. J. in 1897, and was clearly a component of all atoms, different kinds of non-vortex atomic models evolved.""(Michael Fowler).‎

‎First appearance of these importent papers, containing the ideas which was the foundations for his later developed theory of the electron theory of metals.""In a series of papers (the two papers offered), and a book..., Thomson illustrated how to guess at a term in the Lagrangian from a consideration of known phenomena and how, from the term once admitted, to deduca the existence and magnitudes of other effects. he also showed that a time-average of the Lagrangian could play a part of the entropy in certain problems usually handled by the second law of thermodynamics. One of his most importent contributions in this line, was the development of of the notion, perhaps original with him, that electricity flows in much the same way in metals as in electrolytes. He was to return to this idea in founding the electron theory of metals....‎
