EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, inside the French Academy of Sciences. In this historical image, a group of esteemed scientists has gathered in one of the collection rooms (cabinets) within the Louvre in Paris. The French Royal Academy of Sciences was established in 1666 under King Louis XIV's patronage, making it one of the earliest learned societies. This room is filled with an array of scientific, engineering, and astronomical equipment. Originally engraved by Sebastien Le Clerc and later published by Ernest Maindron, this artwork provides a glimpse into the world of scientific exploration during that time period. It was featured in La Science Illustree, a popular science weekly magazine from France. The photo captures multiple men engaged in discussions about various subjects related to their research and discoveries. These brilliant minds include chemists, physicists, researchers - all dedicated to advancing knowledge and understanding in their respective fields. The setting itself exudes history as cabinets filled with collected objects line the walls. This scene represents not only a meeting place for intellectuals but also serves as a testament to humanity's curiosity and thirst for knowledge throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Science Photo Library's collection, we are transported back to an era where science was flourishing amidst Europe's cultural renaissance.
