EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled "Two Boys Blowing Bladder Candle-light" takes us back to the year 1773 and immerses us in the scientific spirit of the Age of Enlightenment. Created by Artokoloro, this red and brown ink plate measures 11 1/4 x 8 3/8 inches (286 x 213 cm) and is a reproduction of an original work by Joseph Wright of Derby. In this depiction, two boys are seen engaged in a fascinating experiment as they test the capacity of a bladder by blowing candlelight into it. The image perfectly captures their curiosity and enthusiasm for exploring the natural world around them. It serves as a reminder that even in simpler times, scientific inquiry was valued and celebrated. The unique aspect of this print is its use of aquatint technique, which produces rich tones and textures through etched outlines. This method was relatively new at the time it was produced in England, making it an innovative piece within its historical context. "Burdett" can be found inscribed on this print but bears no trace or reference to any specific person or entity. It remains a mystery yet adds an intriguing element to this already captivating artwork. Artokoloro has beautifully preserved this significant piece from history, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its representation of intellectual curiosity during one of humanity's most transformative eras.
