EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in scientific research and discovery. Titled "Scientific Researches! New Discoveries in PNEUMATICKS!", the image showcases a cartoon depiction of an experimental lecture on the powers of air, specifically focusing on the effects of laughing gas or nitrous oxide. The scene takes place at the Royal Institution in London, UK, where Dr. Thomas Garnett conducts an experiment on Sir John Coxe Hippisley. The renowned scientist Humphry Davy can be seen holding a pair of bellows, symbolizing his involvement in this ground-breaking demonstration. The artwork by James Gillray is both humorous and informative, as it combines elements of caricature and lavatorial humor to engage viewers while highlighting significant scientific advancements. The use of color etching adds depth and vibrancy to the piece. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also offers insight into the historical context surrounding pneumatic research during that era. It sheds light on how scientists like Benjamin Thompson (Count Rumford) contributed to our understanding of gases and their properties. Displayed proudly at eRoyal Institution, this engraving from Bridgeman Images invites us to appreciate both the artistic skill involved in its creation and the importance of scientific exploration throughout history.
