EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Humphry Potter ou le paresseux de genie" takes us back to the 19th century, a time of scientific progress and invention. Created by an anonymous European School artist, this print is part of a private collection. The artwork was originally featured in Louis Figuier's book "Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes" published around 1870. It beautifully captures the essence of the industrial revolution, showcasing the wonders and marvels brought about by engineering and modern technology. Intriguingly, the image depicts Humphry Potter, a lazy genius who embodies both laziness and ingenuity. This juxtaposition highlights society's fascination with harnessing steam power through machines like steam engines. The machine à vapeur (steam engine) depicted in this engraving symbolizes the immense power that fueled industrial growth during this era. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, it serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of technological advancements. It also invites us to reflect on our own relationship with progress and innovation today. With its rich history and significant cultural importance, this print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers a glimpse into an era where science met artistry to shape our world as we know it today.
