EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Effets de l'explosion de l'atelier pour la fabrication du fulmi-coton, à la poudrerie du Bouchet, le 17 juillet 1848" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous European School artist in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image depicts the aftermath of a catastrophic explosion that occurred on July 17th, 1848 at the fulmi-cotton manufacturing workshop in the Bouchet powder factory. The scene is filled with chaos and destruction as debris flies through the air and flames engulf the surroundings. It serves as a powerful reminder of both the dangers and advancements associated with scientific progress during this era. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for "Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes" (The Wonders of Science or Popular Description of Modern Inventions) by Louis Figuier around 1870. This publication aimed to popularize and showcase various inventions that shaped society during that time. Through this artwork, we are transported into a pivotal moment in industrial revolution history where gunpowder production played a crucial role. It highlights not only the marvels brought about by engineering ingenuity but also reminds us of the risks involved in these groundbreaking endeavors. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from Fine Art Finder's collection, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance
