EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the National standard for one metre, a fascimile copy of a 1789 version made from platinum. Created by the French School in the 20th century, this remarkable piece measures 100 cm and is currently housed at CNAM, Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers in Paris. The image captures the essence of precision and accuracy as it depicts an essential tool used for measurement - a ruler. This particular ruler holds great historical significance as it represents the establishment of the metric system, which has become widely adopted worldwide. With its sleek design and meticulous craftsmanship, this etalon exemplifies the principles behind the System International (SI) units. It symbolizes not only a physical object but also embodies scientific progress and global collaboration. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of humanity's constant pursuit to develop standardized systems that facilitate communication across borders and disciplines. The meter represented here serves as a reminder that accurate measurements are fundamental to various fields such as science, engineering, architecture, and countless other industries. Bridgeman Images has beautifully captured this iconic artifact through their lens. Through their artistry, they have immortalized an important piece of history that continues to shape our world today.
