This print takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an early refrigerator that revolutionized European kitchens. The invention of this domestic preservation device marked a significant milestone in history, allowing households to store food for longer periods. The illustration depicts a cabinet-like structure with intricate details, demonstrating the technological advancements of the time. A tap is visible on one side, suggesting a drainage system for melted ice or water condensation. Cut away sections reveal the inner workings of this cooling marvel - frozen water blocks surrounded by cooled air circulation. Published in 1897 as part of "La Science Illustree" an annual volume edited by Louis Figuier, this artwork captures both the scientific and artistic essence of its era. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and our constant pursuit of improving daily life. While commercial use is not mentioned here, it's fascinating to imagine how this early refrigerator impacted French homes during that period. This historical piece sheds light on how technology has transformed household items over time and paved the way for modern refrigeration systems we rely on today.
