EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving titled "Le Napoleon, vaisseau mixte a helice, lance en 1819" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the wonders of scientific progress and industrial revolution. This print, created by an anonymous European School artist from that era, showcases the magnificent steam-powered vessel known as Le Napoleon. Commissioned in 1819, Le Napoleon was a groundbreaking mixed-propulsion ship equipped with both sails and a propeller-driven engine. The illustration is part of Louis Figuier's renowned work Les Merveilles De La Science ou Description Populaire des Inventions Modernes (Furne, Jouvet c. 1870), which aimed to popularize modern inventions and engineering marvels. The image transports us to an era where transportation technology was rapidly evolving. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation during this transformative period in history. As we gaze at this remarkable vessel gliding through the water with its powerful engines at work, we are reminded of how far we have come in terms of maritime transport. This engraving not only captures the essence of Le Napoleon but also symbolizes mankind's relentless pursuit of progress and our ability to harness science for practical purposes. It stands as a tribute to those who dared to dream big and push boundaries in order to shape our world today.
