EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the historic moment when Benjamin Franklin, one of America's most renowned scientists, made a groundbreaking discovery that would revolutionize the way buildings were protected from the destructive forces of nature. The year was 1758, and Franklin, intrigued by the mystery of lightning, conducted an experiment that would change the course of history. In this image, Franklin is shown holding a kite with a key attached to the kite string, as he stands in a field during a thunderstorm. With a determined look on his face, he braves the elements, hoping to prove his hypothesis that lightning is a form of electricity. As the storm rages on, the electricity from the lightning strikes the kite's metal key, and Franklin feels the electric charge through the kite string, proving his theory. This discovery led Franklin to develop the lightning rod, a simple yet effective solution to protect buildings from the damaging effects of lightning strikes. By installing a tall rod on the highest point of a building, Franklin's invention would channel the lightning directly into the earth, preventing the destructive force from reaching the structure. This invention not only saved countless buildings from damage but also paved the way for further advancements in the field of electricity. This print is a testament to the ingenuity and curiosity of Benjamin Franklin, and serves as a reminder of the pivotal role that scientific discovery plays in shaping our world. With a rich historical background and a captivating story, this print is a must-have for any collection focused on science, history, or the natural world.
