EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of modernity and progress in late 19th century Philadelphia, United States. The image showcases a bustling corner of Chesnut street and third street, adorned with a network of air electric wires that symbolize the advancement of electricity in America. Taken from an engraving featured in "La Nature. Revue des sciences et de ses applications aux arts et à l'industrie" in 1886, this piece is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the time. The French School artist responsible for this masterpiece remains unknown but their skillful depiction brings life to this historical moment. The stark contrast between the intricate web of electric wires against the backdrop of urban architecture evokes a sense of awe and wonder at the rapid changes occurring during that era. It serves as a reminder that progress knows no bounds, transcending geographical boundaries such as North America. Now preserved within a private collection, this print by Stefano Bianchetti transports us back to an era where electricity was revolutionizing society. It reminds us how far we have come since then while also acknowledging our indebtedness to those who paved the way for our modern comforts. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, let it serve as inspiration for future generations to continue pushing boundaries and embracing advancements that shape our world today.
