The image showcases an innovative and groundbreaking concept at the time: electric lighting. The scene takes place during the infamous Siege of Paris, where electricity played a crucial role in illuminating the city amidst chaos and uncertainty. The Poste de la Butte Montmartre stands tall as a symbol of resilience and progress, with its machinery generating the electrical power that lights up the surrounding area. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this engraving was originally featured in Amedee Guillemin's publication "Le Monde Physique, Le Magnetisme et L Electricite" in 1883.
