EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a humorous moment in the world of science during the early 19th century. The scene depicts English chemist Humphry Davy assisting Dr. Thomas Garnett at the Royal Institution with an experiment in pneumatics on Sir J. C. Hippesley, who appears to be considerably embarrassed by the active effects of air. The engraving, created by James Gillray in 1802, showcases his talent for caricature and satire. On the right side of the image stands Benjamin Thompson, also known as Count Rumford, observing the comical spectacle unfolding before him. The cartoon-like depiction adds an element of entertainment to this scientific demonstration taking place in a laboratory setting. It offers a glimpse into the lighter side of scientific research during that era. This print is part of The Granger Collection's vast collection and serves as a reminder of how science can sometimes surprise us with unexpected outcomes. Whether you are interested in history or simply appreciate art that combines humor and intellect, this piece is sure to captivate your imagination.
