EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "What will he grow to?, 1881" we are transported back to the 19th century, a time of great scientific curiosity and experimentation. The image depicts the Kings of Steam and Coal standing in awe and trepidation over a crib holding the baby Electricity. During this period, electricity was a subject of intense debate and discussion, with recent developments being showcased at the International Electrical Exhibition in Paris. In London, numerous experiments were underway to harness electricity for public lighting. The cartoon-like illustration by Joseph Swain captures both the concept of fear and fascination surrounding this new form of energy. The monarchs appear unsure about what lies ahead as they gaze upon the innocent yet powerful figure before them. The monochrome engraving adds depth to the scene, emphasizing its historical significance. Created by John Tenniel and Joseph Swain, renowned artists of their time, this print showcases their satirical approach towards societal advancements. "What will he grow to?" serves as a thought-provoking piece that encapsulates an era marked by technological progress and uncertainty. It reminds us how even today's most groundbreaking innovations can evoke both excitement and apprehension as we ponder their potential impact on our world.
