EDITORS COMMENTS

The print showcases "La Chandelle, La Bougie" an illustration created for Albert Levy's renowned book "Nos Vraies Conquetes" in 1882. The image depicts a fascinating contrast and comparison between two sources of light - the traditional candlelight represented by "la chandelle" and the emerging gas lighting symbolized by "la bougie". This visual juxtaposition invites us to ponder the evolution of illumination technology during that era. As our eyes wander through this mesmerizing artwork, we can't help but marvel at how these inventions have transformed society.
