EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving titled "A Riot in Saint-Omer, about the Establishment of a Lightning Rod on the House of de Boisvalla" captures a moment of uproar and commotion in this quaint residential neighborhood. The image showcases an architectural marvel—a lightning rod being installed atop the elegant home of de Boisvallé. As technology advanced during the rise of the age, such innovations became essential for protecting properties from destructive forces. The scene is filled with people protesting against this modern addition to their traditional surroundings. Their furor and riotous behavior reflect resistance to change and perhaps fear of disrupting the quintessential charm that defines Saint-Omer's architecture. This vintage print offers us a glimpse into Victorian society's struggle to adapt to new technologies while preserving their nostalgic way of life. With intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, this old print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness firsthand how societal shifts can ignite upheaval within communities. It serves as a reminder that progress often comes hand-in-hand with resistance and unrest. As we admire this historical artifact from the Liszt Collection, let it serve as a testament to our ever-evolving world—where past meets present—and encourage us to embrace change while cherishing our rich heritage.
