EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Une emeute a Saint-Omer, a propos de l etablissement d un paratonnerre sur la maison de Visseri de Boisvalle" depicts a riot in the town of Saint-Omer during the 19th century. The cause of this uproar was the installation of a lightning rod on Visseri de Boisvalle's house. This artwork is part of the private collection and showcases an illustration for Louis Figuier's book "Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes" which aimed to popularize modern inventions and scientific progress. The image captures the tension between traditional beliefs and scientific advancements during the industrial revolution era. It symbolizes society's struggle to accept new ideas and technologies that challenged long-held beliefs about meteorology, weather patterns, and natural phenomena like lightning strikes. Intriguingly, this engraving serves as a reminder of how science has always been at odds with prevailing notions throughout history. It highlights both the resistance faced by scientists trying to introduce innovative concepts and society's gradual acceptance of these groundbreaking ideas. Through its intricate details and dramatic composition, this artwork invites viewers to reflect on humanity's journey towards understanding nature through scientific methods. It encapsulates not only historical events but also represents an important chapter in our collective pursuit of knowledge and progress.
