The image, created in 1844, showcases an enthusiastic physicist in the foreground, proudly displaying a Volta battery to a crowd of onlookers. The physicist, with a smirk on his face, exclaims, "This, gentlemen, is the truly extraordinary effect of the Volta battery!" In the background, a uniformed soldier, identified as Le Pioupiou, expresses alarm, shouting, "Ah, by Abd-el Kader! do I have to expose myself again to such a battery!" The soldier's fear and trepidation add a layer of humor and satire to the scene, as the audience is left to ponder the potential dangers of this new and innovative technology. The image, titled "Les Plaisirs des Champs-Elysees," is a testament to the artistic prowess of Honore Daumier, who masterfully captured the essence of the era's scientific advancements and the public's reaction to them.
