There is, in the National Portrait Gallery of London, a famous photography of Herschel taken by his former protégée, Julia Margaret Cameron, in 1867. By this time Whewell and Jones were dead, and Babbage and Herschel were soon to follow them. Herschel’s face, grizzled and framed with white hair, is half in darkness, half in light, like the celestial bodies he had spent so much time gazing upon. He looks ahead, a bit stunned by what he seems to see. Perhaps even Herschel was surprised at how much he and his friends had accompanied: they had truly transformed science and helped create the modern world. ~ Page 368
