EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in scientific history - the groundbreaking experience conducted by Thomas Francois Dalibard on 10 May 1752. In this engraving from the 19th century, we witness the first demonstration of the presence of electricity in stormy clouds at Marly. Dalibard, a renowned scientist and inventor, paved the way for our understanding of meteorology and electrical phenomena with this remarkable experiment. The image showcases his dedication to unraveling nature's mysteries as he stands amidst a tumultuous storm, surrounded by dark clouds crackling with lightning bolts. The composition beautifully portrays the intensity and power of nature's fury while highlighting Dalibard's courage and curiosity. His invention, the lightning rod, is prominently featured as it attracts electric charges from above, grounding them safely into the earth below. Through this historic event captured in an exquisite engraving by French School artists, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge. This image serves as a testament to Dalibard's contribution to science and his role in shaping our understanding of electricity. As we gaze upon this print from Leonard de Selva's private collection, we are transported back to that pivotal moment when science intersected with nature. It is a visual reminder that even centuries ago, humans were driven by an insatiable desire to comprehend and harness natural forces for progress.
