EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history when Benjamin Franklin, accompanied by his son, conducted the famous kite experiment to capture lightning during a storm. This groundbreaking discovery of the electric nature of lightning ultimately led to the invention of the lightning rod, revolutionizing our understanding of weather and electricity.
In this 19th-century engraving, we see Franklin and his son bravely flying a kite in stormy conditions, risking their lives in pursuit of knowledge. The image depicts forked lightning striking the kite as Franklin observes with awe and curiosity. It is a testament to human ingenuity and determination to unravel the mysteries of nature.
Benjamin Franklin was not only a founding father of America but also a brilliant scientist whose contributions have had lasting impacts on society. His experiments with electricity laid the foundation for modern physics and technology.
As we gaze upon this historic scene captured by Patrice Cartier, we are reminded of the power of human curiosity and perseverance in unlocking the secrets of the universe. The legacy of Benjamin Franklin lives on through his pioneering work in science and innovation.
