The discovery of the Leyden Jar, 1745 (1894)
The discovery of the Leyden Jar, 1745 (1894). An experiment conducted by Dutch scientist Pieter van Musschenbroek. Musschenbroeck (1692-1761) and his student, Andrea Cunaeus, invented a cheap and convenient device for storing an electric charge. The Leyden jar, named after the Dutch town where it was devised, was the first device that could store large amounts of charge and consisted of a glass phial which was partially filled with water and contained a thick conducting wire. The jar was charged by bringing an exposed end of this conducting wire into contact with a friction device that generated static electricity. From A Popular History of Science, by Robert Routledge, BSc (Lond.), F.C.S. [George Routledge & Sons, Limited. London, 1894]

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of science: the discovery of the Leyden Jar in 1745. Dutch scientist Pieter van Musschenbroek, accompanied by his student Andrea Cunaeus, is depicted conducting an experiment that would revolutionize electricity storage. The Leyden jar, named after the town where it was invented, became the first device capable of storing large amounts of electric charge. It consisted of a glass phial partially filled with water and containing a thick conducting wire. To charge the jar, an exposed end of this wire was brought into contact with a friction device generating static electricity. In this image, we witness both men and women engrossed in observing this groundbreaking innovation. The scene showcases not only their dedication to scientific exploration but also highlights gender inclusivity within scientific pursuits during this era. The significance of this invention cannot be overstated as it laid the foundation for future advancements in electrical technology. This engraving from A Popular History of Science by Robert Routledge (1894) serves as a testament to human curiosity and ingenuity throughout centuries. As we gaze upon this monochrome snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded that every great discovery starts with an idea and relentless pursuit—a reminder to embrace our own potential for innovation and progress.
