Carbon arc welding, 1900
Carbon arc welding. Historical artwork of a worker using a coloured piece of glass to shield his eyes from a 19th-century welding device. This artwork illustrates the carbon arc welding method developed by Bernados and others at the Cabot Laboratory (Cabat) in France. The technique was patented in the UK in 1885. It used a high electrical voltage between two electrodes, one being the metal object to be welded (in clamp) and the other a carbonised tip held in the hand and brought close to the other electrode. The wires seen here supply the electricity, which was generated by a steam engine. Artwork from A Travers l Electricite (G. Dary, Paris, 1900)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork captures a pivotal moment in the history of welding - Carbon arc welding, circa 1900. The image showcases an industrious European male worker utilizing a vibrant colored piece of glass to shield his eyes from the intense light emitted by a 19th-century welding device. This historical masterpiece illustrates the innovative carbon arc welding technique developed by Bernados and others at France's Cabot Laboratory (Cabat). Patented in the UK in 1885, this groundbreaking method employed high electrical voltage between two electrodes; one being the metal object held firmly in a clamp, while the other was a carbonized tip held by hand and brought close to it. The wires visible within this artwork supplied electricity generated by a steam engine. The fusion of artistry and technology depicted here highlights both human ingenuity and industrial progress during that era. It serves as a testament to early safety measures taken by inventors like Bernados to protect workers' vision while pushing boundaries with new advancements. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene, we are transported back to an age when physical labor intertwined seamlessly with electrical marvels. This illustration not only pays homage to our technological heritage but also reminds us of how far we have come since those early days of experimentation and discovery.
