1. Title: "Electrical Wonders: Voltaic Pile, Leyden Jar, and Electrical Stool" This hand-colored steel engraving showcases a collection of early electrical devices, including an Electrical Machine, Voltaic Pile, Leyden Jar, and Electrical Stool. These inventions, which revolutionized the scientific world in the early 19th century, were essential components of the burgeoning field of electricity. The Voltaic Pile (pistolet de Volta) in the center of the image is a primitive battery, invented by Alessandro Volta in 1800. It consists of alternating layers of zinc and silver plates separated by moist cardboard or cloth. This ingenious contraption was the first reliable source of a steady electric current, paving the way for further electrical discoveries. To the left, the Leyden Jar (bouteille de Leyde) stands tall and imposing. Invented by Pieter van Musschenbroek in 1745, this glass jar was the first device capable of storing electrical charges. When a charge was introduced into the jar, it would build up an electric field, which could be discharged through a spark gap, producing a powerful electric shock. The Electrical Stool (tabouret electrique) in the bottom right corner is a device used to protect experimenters from the electric shocks produced by the Leyden Jar. It features a series of metal rods that could be touched by the experimenter, allowing them to conduct the electric current safely. The Electrical Machine (machine electrique) in the top right corner is a device used to generate an electric spark. It consists of a rotating wheel with a metal tip that, when brought close to a metal sphere, would create a spark as the wheel rotated. This intriguing assemblage of electrical devices, beautifully rendered in hand-colored steel engraving by du Casse after an illustration by Adolph Fries, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early electrical experimentation.
