EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Use of the New Measures" takes us back to 1795, a time when France was undergoing significant changes in its measurement system. Engraved by Labrousse and colored by Delion, this artwork showcases the transition from traditional units to the metric system. Intricate details depict various measuring tools such as scales, fabric rolls, and coins, symbolizing different aspects of daily life that were affected by these new measures. The caption on the print highlights some key conversions: "le litre pour la pinte" (the liter for the pint), "le gramme pour la livre" (the gram for the pound), "le metre pour l'aune" (the meter for the ell), and so on. This historical piece not only emphasizes practical measurements but also reflects a broader societal shift towards standardization and modernization. It reminds us of how important it is to have consistent units across different domains like trade, science, and everyday transactions. Displayed at Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this engraving offers a glimpse into an era where change was embraced with open arms. As we admire this artwork today, it serves as a reminder of humanity's continuous pursuit of progress through innovation and adaptation.
