EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Navire couvert portant le feu gregeois" transports us back to the 13th century and offers a glimpse into the wonders of science and engineering during that time. The image depicts a covered ship carrying Greek fire, as illustrated in a Latin manuscript from the era. The artwork is part of an enchanting collection known as "Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes" by Louis Figuier. Published around 1870, this popular book aimed to bring modern inventions and scientific progress to a wider audience. In this particular print, we witness the fusion of history and innovation. It serves as a testament to mankind's relentless pursuit of knowledge and advancement throughout centuries. The ship itself becomes an emblematic representation of industrial revolution marvels. The inclusion of gunpowder highlights the explosive nature behind these inventions while also reminding us of their historical significance in warfare. This engraving invites viewers on a journey through time, allowing them to appreciate both the ingenuity displayed in ancient manuscripts and its impact on our present-day lives. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded that human curiosity has always driven progress forward – be it in science or any other field – shaping our world into what it is today.
