EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Benjamin Franklin, a true Renaissance man of his time. Known for his diverse talents and contributions to American society, Franklin's legacy as a printer, publisher, scientist, inventor, statesman, and diplomat is beautifully depicted in this late 19th-century pen and ink drawing. The focal point of the image showcases an iconic moment in scientific history - Franklin's renowned kite and key experiment conducted in June 1752. With the assistance of his son William by his side, he fearlessly proved the connection between lightning and electricity. This groundbreaking event forever changed our understanding of these natural phenomena. Franklin's intellectual curiosity shines through as he fearlessly flies his kite amidst dark rain clouds. His dedication to research and discovery is evident as he braves the elements to unravel the mysteries of science. As one of America's founding fathers and a philosopher at heart, Franklin embodies both wisdom and innovation. This image serves as a powerful reminder not only of Franklin's remarkable achievements but also highlights the spirit of exploration that defines human progress. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come since those early days when pioneers like Benjamin Franklin pushed boundaries with their insatiable thirst for knowledge.
