EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a glimpse into the technological marvels of the 19th century. The image showcases an electric counter, its inner workings exposed for all to see. A true testament to human ingenuity, this device was featured in the eighth volume of the renowned French popular science weekly, La Science Illustree. The intricate components housed within this machine are awe-inspiring. At its center left lies an induction coil, a crucial part of both the switch and counting mechanism. Adjacent to it is a clock, ticking away with precision amidst a sea of wires and gears. Four counter dials grace the lower left corner, each meticulously designed to track numerical values. This artwork not only serves as a historical artifact but also highlights the advancements made in electrical technology during that era. Created by Louis Figuier for La Science Illustree's annual volume in 1891, it offers us a glimpse into how our ancestors harnessed electricity for practical purposes. As we gaze upon this monochromatic masterpiece from Science Photo Library, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days of discovery and innovation. It stands as a tribute to human curiosity and determination – forever capturing an important chapter in our technological history.
