EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from 1907, French inventor and visionary, Georges Méliès, also known as M. Remond, can be seen performing an extraordinary feat on the serene waters of the Bois de Boulogne lake. Méliès, a pioneer in the field of cinema and magic, was not only a master of illusion on screen but also in real life. In this experiment, he is seen walking on water, seemingly defying the laws of physics. Méliès achieved this remarkable stunt by attaching small, canoe-like boats to the soles of his feet. The boats, filled with air, allowed him to float and move across the lake's surface with an uncanny resemblance to walking on solid ground. This audacious display of human ingenuity and determination captured the imagination of the public and added to Méliès' already impressive reputation. The photograph, taken in October of that year, is a testament to the spirit of innovation and exploration that characterized the late 19th century. Méliès' experiment at the Bois de Boulogne lake is an important chapter in the history of human achievement, showcasing the lengths to which individuals were willing to go to push the boundaries of what was thought possible. This photograph, with its rich historical significance and intriguing subject matter, is an essential addition to any collection focusing on the history of science, technology, and human ingenuity.
