EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical print captures a moment of scientific experimentation and satire at the Royal Institution in 1802. The scene depicts Thomas Young conducting experiments on Hippisley, with Humphry Davy manning the bellows and Rumford standing by the door. As Young delves into new discoveries in pneumatics, an explosion seems imminent, adding a sense of danger to the comical caricature.
The audience looks on with curiosity and amusement as these esteemed figures of science engage in their research. Gillray's satirical touch is evident in the exaggerated expressions and actions of each character, highlighting the absurdity and excitement of scientific exploration during this time period.
Through this print, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when groundbreaking discoveries were being made in the field of pneumatics. It serves as a reminder of both the progress and humor that can be found within scientific endeavors.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just an image, but a snapshot of an era where innovation and entertainment intersected within the walls of one of Britain's most prestigious institutions.
