EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in scientific research and discovery. Titled ""Scientific Researches! New Discoveries in PNEUMATICKS! or An Experimental Lecture on the Powers of Air"", the image depicts a cartoon-like scene at the Royal Institution. The focus of this lecture is the demonstration of laughing gas, also known as nitrous oxide. The etching, created by James Gillray in 1801 and measuring 35x24.5 cm, showcases various figures engaged in this groundbreaking experiment.
