EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Miroir Ardent" takes us back to the 19th century and invites us into a world of scientific discovery. The image showcases the power of lenses and their ability to harness the sun's rays for practical purposes. Intriguingly, this engraving was created as an illustration for Albert Levy's book "Nos Vraies Conquetes" in 1882. It beautifully captures the essence of Miroir Ardent, a mirror that can generate intense heat when exposed to sunlight. The scene depicted in this print exudes a sense of wonder and excitement as we witness the invention at work. The lens focuses the sun's rays onto a specific point, creating an intense concentration of heat that is capable of starting fires or melting objects. This groundbreaking invention undoubtedly revolutionized various industries during its time. Originating from France, known for its rich history in scientific advancements, this engraving symbolizes European ingenuity and innovation. It serves as a testament to French culture's contribution to technological progress. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded not only of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge but also our ability to harness nature's elements for our benefit.
