EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Gas Pressure: The Pneumatic Machine" takes us back to a fair in the early 20th century. The image showcases huge hemispheres that were installed as an attraction, leaving men baffled as they attempted, in vain, to detach them. Inspired by Otto von Guericke's famous experiment with the hemispheres of Magdeburg, this spectacle aimed to demonstrate the power of gas pressure. The anonymous illustration from 1925 captures the essence of curiosity and wonderment during that era. It invites viewers to delve into a world where physical knowledge and experience were celebrated through interactive games like this one. The engraving technique used adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual appeal. The monochromatic color scheme emphasizes both the historical significance and timeless nature of this moment captured in time. As we gaze upon this intriguing scene, we can't help but imagine ourselves among those men eagerly attempting to solve the puzzle before them. This thought-provoking print is part of a private collection belonging to Stefano Bianchetti, reminding us that even though it may be out of copyright now, it continues to hold immense value for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
