EDITORS COMMENTS
The caption for the print of "Destruction of Papins steamboat - Denis Papin (1647-1712)" could be: This engraving captures a pivotal moment in history when Denis Papin, the renowned French physicist and inventor, witnessed the destruction of his groundbreaking paddle steamer. In 1707, while observing from the shores of Muenden, Papin's innovative creation fell victim to the boatmen's fury. The boatmen, known as Les Bateliers de Munden, shattered this symbol of technological progress. Depicted in exquisite detail within Alexis Clerc's publication "Sciences set at the reach of all - physics and chemistry" this late 19th-century engraving offers a glimpse into an era where human ingenuity collided with resistance to change. The image showcases not only the physical destruction but also serves as a metaphorical representation of societal opposition faced by visionaries like Papin. Transportation enthusiasts will appreciate this historical artifact that marks a significant milestone in maritime technology. Stefano Bianchetti's expert restoration brings vibrant colors back to life on this print from a private collection. This artwork reminds us that even great minds face setbacks on their path towards progress.
