Did James Clerk Maxwell Ever Draw a Picture of an Electromagnetic Wave?

Did James Clerk Maxwell Ever Draw a Picture of an Electromagnetic Wave in any of his notebooks?

Who was the first one to draw one? Would love to find the first picture representing it all!

I am looking for the first example of a drawing looking like this showing the perpendicular sinusoidal E & M waves of a propagating photon:

Thanks!

Or at least an early one.

It was probably Heinrich Hertz in the 1880's.

My vote is Oliver heaverstead who made vector calculus and made maxwell's laws into what they are today. But don't have proof.

I think you mean Oliver Heaviside.

I think you are right. Sorry about that!
