EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1860, where we find ourselves in Mr. Koblenz's Electrotyping workshops in Paris. The image showcases a fascinating scene of the bathing process involved in electrotyping, a revolutionary manufacturing technology of that time. In the center of the frame stands a wooden tank filled with gutta percha, an insulating material commonly used during this period. Surrounding it are voltaic batteries carefully placed within copper sulfate solution, creating an electrifying atmosphere. This unique setup highlights the intricate relationship between electricity and typographic character production. The engraving originally featured in "Le Monde Illustre" on January 7th, 1860, captures not only the technical aspects but also provides insight into the industrial ambiance of these workshops. The French School artist responsible for this artwork skillfully portrays every detail with precision and accuracy. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported to a bygone era when innovation was at its peak. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements while appreciating the ingenuity and craftsmanship displayed by our predecessors. This print is not just an artistic representation; it is a testament to human curiosity and determination to push boundaries beyond imagination.
