EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating moment in history, showcasing Benjamin Franklin's daring experiment with a flying deer as a lightning rod. The image is an advertising sticker from the renowned Liebig company, created by the French School in the 19th century. Benjamin Franklin, an American polymath and one of the founding fathers of the United States, was known for his scientific curiosity and groundbreaking discoveries. In this particular instance, he sought to understand electricity and its connection to lightning strikes. With fearless determination, Franklin famously flew a deer-shaped object into stormy skies to attract lightning bolts. The chromolithography technique used in this artwork beautifully brings out the vivid colors and intricate details of this historical event. It serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our innate desire to unravel nature's mysteries. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are transported back to that pivotal moment when Franklin defied convention and embarked on his electrifying journey. This photograph not only celebrates his remarkable achievements but also pays homage to the spirit of discovery that has shaped our world. Let us cherish these glimpses into our past - they remind us that progress is born out of audacity and imagination.
