Image title
Electricite experience in the 18th century: a young abbe rotates an electric machine formed of a sulfur sphere. A woman presses her hand on the sphere and through friction develops a fluid. A young man hung by ropes makes the spark spring at the end of his finger, which he puts on the boat presented to him by another experimenter. Engraving in “” La Nature””, 1879. Private collection.
