EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Davy decompose les alealis par la pile voltaique, 1807" takes us back to the 19th century, a time of scientific progress and invention. The engraving by the European School depicts Sir Humphry Davy conducting an experiment using the voltaic pile, a groundbreaking electrical battery. The image is part of a private collection and was originally published in Louis Figuier's book "Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes" around 1870. This publication aimed to popularize modern inventions and marvels among the general public during the industrial revolution. In this particular scene, Davy can be seen breaking down various elements through electrolysis with the help of his voltaic pile. The electricity generated by this innovative device paved the way for further advancements in engineering and power generation. As we admire this historical artwork, it reminds us of how far we have come in harnessing electricity as a source of energy. It serves as a testament to human curiosity, ingenuity, and our relentless pursuit of knowledge throughout history. This print not only captures an important moment in scientific history but also symbolizes mankind's unwavering determination to push boundaries and explore new frontiers.
