EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of scientific exploration and discovery in the field of pneumaticks. Titled "Scientific Researches! New discoveries in Pneumaticks! Or an Experimental Lecture" this hand-coloured engraving by James Gillray showcases a fascinating experiment conducted by Dr. Thomas Garnett on Sir John Coxe Hippisley. In the image, we see Humphry Davy holding a pair of bellows while Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, observes with great interest. The audience is filled with both men and women, all eagerly watching as the experiment unfolds before their eyes. Glass bottles and jars are scattered around the room, emphasizing the importance of air in these scientific investigations. The scene is not only informative but also lighthearted, as social satire plays a role in Gillray's caricature style. One cannot help but notice the comical expressions on some faces or even spot someone letting out a discreet fart amidst all the excitement. This engraving offers us a glimpse into an era where scientific experiments were conducted publicly for educational purposes. It highlights how individuals like Garnett, Davy, and Rumford pushed boundaries to unravel new knowledge about pneumatics. Preserved within this print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection lies not just an artistic masterpiece but also an invaluable piece of history that reminds us of humanity's relentless pursuit of understanding our world through science and experimentation.
