The
Challenger
was the first voyage to carry a camera. As such, it claims the first photograph
of an iceberg. However, the photographers did not supplant artists and
their drawings. Scientific illustration reached a new peak with the Challenger
voyage, with precise and detailed depictions of a range of sea creatures
for the report's 29,552 pages. |

From huge fish
to microscopic algae, the illustrations can be viewed as the first modern
scientific illustrations. They were completed in painstaking detail, with
a level of detail that still makes them invaluable today. |
