EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lighting of a big city, illustration from Memoire sur le meilleur systeme d'eclairage de Paris" takes us back to the 18th century streets of Paris. The image showcases the innovative street lighting system proposed by Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier, a renowned French chemist and scientist. In this engraving by E. Wormser, we see the glow of street lamps illuminating the bustling cityscape. Each lamp emits a warm flame that casts enchanting shadows on the cobblestone streets below. This depiction not only highlights Lavoisier's groundbreaking work but also captures the essence of an era when oil lamps and candles were essential sources of light after sunset. The image transports us to a time when scientific advancements played a crucial role in improving everyday life. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of lighting technology while paying homage to those who paved the way for modern illumination systems. As we admire this historical artwork held at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, let it serve as a reminder that even small innovations can have profound impacts on society. Whether it be through flickering flames or cutting-edge LED lights, light has always been an integral part of our lives – guiding our paths and creating moments worth remembering.
