EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "La grande pile de l Ecole polytechnique construite en 1813, par l ordre de Napoleon 1er" showcases the remarkable progress and scientific advancements of the 19th century. The image depicts a towering structure known as the voltaic pile, an early form of electrical battery, constructed under the orders of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1813 at the prestigious Ecole Polytechnique. The artwork, created by an anonymous European School artist in the 19th century, is part of a private collection and was featured in Louis Figuier's renowned book "Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes". This publication aimed to popularize modern inventions and marvels among readers during that era. The engraving symbolizes not only technological innovation but also highlights the industrial revolution that swept across Europe during this period. It serves as a visual testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and its ability to harness electricity as a powerful source of energy. Through this historical lens, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of scientific achievements. This print from Bridgeman Images invites us to appreciate our rich history while inspiring us to continue pushing boundaries for future generations.
