EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Universal Images Group (UIG), we are transported back in time to witness a clerk diligently operating a Pascal type of adding machine. The woodcut, created in London in 1835, beautifully captures the essence of early French counting calculators. The image showcases the intricate design and craftsmanship of this remarkable machine, which was named after its inventor Blaise Pascal (1623-1664). With its mechanical gears and levers, it revolutionized the way calculations were performed during that era. This particular model is a testament to human ingenuity and innovation. As we observe the clerk engrossed in his work, one cannot help but marvel at how far technology has advanced since then. What once required manual labor and meticulous attention can now be effortlessly accomplished with modern-day computers or smartphones. Nevertheless, there is an undeniable charm to witnessing these historical artifacts being put into action. This photograph print serves as a reminder of our rich technological heritage and pays homage to those who paved the way for today's sophisticated machines. It invites us to reflect on how far we have come while appreciating the foundations upon which our current digital landscape is built. Archive's preservation of this moment allows us to appreciate both the beauty of artistry captured through woodcut printing techniques and the significance of historical advancements such as Pascal's adding machine.
