EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a step-by-step guide on how to blacken a glass in order to safely observe the sun during an eclipse. The print, part of a private collection, showcases the ingenuity and curiosity of the European School at that time. The image is digitally cleaned, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and historical significance. It was originally created as an illustration for Amedee Guillemin's book "The Sun" published in 1871. In this educational artwork, we see a meticulous process unfolding before our eyes. Each stage is carefully depicted, guiding viewers through the transformation of an ordinary glass into a tool capable of observing one of nature's most awe-inspiring phenomena - a solar eclipse.
