Electric Shock, 1881 - A Glimpse into the Fascinating World of Electricity in North Carolina
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This wood engraving from 1881 takes us back to a time when the study of electricity was just beginning to spark curiosity and amazement. The print showcases an electrifying demonstration held at an amusement park in Raleigh, North Carolina. Spectators eagerly gather around as a young girl, holding an instrument with electrodes, prepares for what promises to be a shocking experience. The scene is set against the backdrop of urban development in the late 19th century South-Eastern United States. However, it also reveals unsettling racial stereotypes prevalent during that era. In this caricature-like portrayal, we see Caucasian men and women observing the spectacle while African Americans are depicted in condescending ways. Despite these regrettable representations, this image offers valuable insights into both scientific progress and societal attitudes of its time. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come since then in terms of inclusivity and understanding. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by Joseph Becker's skilled hand, let us appreciate not only the advancements made in science but also reflect on our collective responsibility to ensure equality and respect for all individuals regardless of their race or background.
