EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the brilliant mind of Charles Proteus Steinmetz, an American electrical engineer of German origin. Taken in 1922, the image showcases Steinmetz in his laboratory at General Electric in Schenectady, New York. With a stoic expression on his face, he holds pieces from a tree branch that had been damaged by a stroke from his artificial lightning generator. Steinmetz's contribution to the field of electrical engineering cannot be overstated. His intelligence and innovative ideas propelled him to become one of the most influential figures in early power technology. In this portrait, we see him surrounded by various tools and equipment that reflect his dedication to advancing scientific knowledge. Notably, Steinmetz is seen holding a cigar between his fingers while sitting on a stool amidst an interior filled with woodwork. This detail adds character to the photograph and hints at his penchant for enjoying a smoke during moments of contemplation. The Granger Collection has beautifully preserved this snapshot from history as part of their Carousel Collection. It serves as a testament to Steinmetz's brilliance and enduring legacy within the realm of electrical engineering. As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but marvel at the man who harnessed lightning itself for scientific exploration and progress.
