Parker and House of Commons 1843 and 1840. William Snow Harris was a physician and amateur scientist with the descriptive nickname "Thunder and Lightning Harris." In the 1820s he devised a new system for protecting ships from lightning strikes and in 1831 he had the opportunity to install his system on "HMS Beagle" for her second survey voyage. The trial was a success and Harris then spent years trying to convince the Royal Navy to make use of his invention. The men in charge at that time were hidebound and conservative and they rejected Harris's entreaties. He was persistent however and eventually brought the matter before Parliament.

In 1840 certainly at Harris's urging the House of Commons ordered the publication of "Papers Respecting Mr. Harris's Lightning Conductors." This consisted of 8 folding lithographs describing and picturing installation of Harris's device on the 28-gun sixth rate "Sapphire" and the 84-gun third rate ship of the line "Asia" demonstrating the applicability of his invention on ships of all sizes. In 1842 the Royal Navy finally adopted Harris's conductors and in 1843 he published "On the Nature of Thunderstorms" explaining his device and the nature of lightning to the public.

Acquatinta misura: mm 140 x 190 Importante acquafortista e disegnatore attivo per lo più a Milano. Autore di un gran numero di vedute fù il principale illustratore dell'Album Esposizione di Belle Arti in Milano. Tale album venne pubblicato annualmente dal 1839 al 1861 prima da Carlo Canadelli e poi da Giuliano Canadelli e C., in forma di strenna con tavole ritraenti le opere esposte annualmente presso l'Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera. Egli fu un abile e attento vedutista capace di cogliere il bello della vita quotidiana tanto incidendo da sue stesse invenzioni tanto riproducendo dipinti o fotografie di altri autori. A tal proposito vale la pena ricordare la serie del Dragherrotipo delle vedute milanesi, primo esempio di impiego della fotografia quale modello per le incisioni, esteso anche ad altre città italiane per un totale di 119 tavole. Questa tavola di traduzione riprende un dipinto eseguito da Angelo Inganni (Brescia 1807 - Gussago 1880) su commissione del Nobile Signor Filippo dei Marchesi Villani. Vediamo Piazza Borromeo a Milano durante una copiosa nevicata. Gli edifici che circondano la piazza hanno i tetti imbiancati, gli esili alberi in primo piano sono spogli, animano la scena signori in tuba e pastrano, un curato, due cani, un carro e una carrozza, una scena animata che pare descritta come in un fotogramma. Si noti a destra l’insegna di un rivendita di "Tabacchi/sale e cartaboll” appena sotto l’insegna con l’aquila bicipite dell’Imperatore d’Austria. Oltre l’immagine in basso inciso il titolo e più sotto nell'angolo destro "Cherbuin dis. et inc". Impressione eccellente dai contrasti chiaroscurali. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Piccoli margini oltre la battuta del rame. Bibliografia: Paolo Arrigoni, Milano nelle vecchie stampe, 1970 (Album Esposizione di Belle Arti in Milano, a III-XI, 1839-51), 1970, 189/6.

A tal proposito vale la pena ricordare la serie del Dragherrotipo delle vedute milanesi, primo esempio di impiego della fotografia quale modello per le incisioni, esteso anche ad altre città italiane per un totale di 119 tavole. In questa tavola, tratta dal dipinto di Angelo Inganni (Brescia 1807 - Gussago 1880) La colonna di S.Martiniano al Verziere con effetto di neve 1845, viene rappresentata attraverso incisivi giochi chiaroscurali, una interessante e caratteristica veduta milanese durante una nevicata. La veduta è significativa proprio perché raro esempio in cui la condizione atmosferica fa da protagonista. Al centro della composizione vediamo svettare la Colonna del Verziere, situata nell’attuale Largo Augusto circondata da edifici innevati, in primo piano due uomini spalano la neve, poco oltre due prelati sono fermi a chiacchierare, sulla sinistra una donna è intenta a cucinare, tutta la scena è animata da uomini e donne intenti nelle loro faccende. Dal cielo grigio, tipico delle giornate invernali, scende la neve che crea un'atmosfera magica e avvolge la città nel suo manto candido. Si noti sulla destra l’insegna con l’aquila bicipite dell’Imperatore d’Austria, più sotto l’indicazione stradale via San Bernardino. Oltre l’immagine in basso al centro, inciso, Cherbuin dis. et inc., e più sotto titolo, editore e anno. Impressione eccellente, dai toni intensi. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Ampi margini oltre la battuta del rame. Bibliografia: Paolo Arrigoni, Milano nelle vecchie stampe, 1970 (Album Esposizione di Belle Arti in Milano, a III-XI, 1839-51), 1970, 189/4.
