Le 7 janvier 1839, le physicien François Arago, lors d'une séance de l'Académie des sciences de Paris, présente un nouveau procédé permettant de reproduire de manière mécanique et chimique, sans intervention manuelle, les images qui se forment dans la chambre obscure: le daguerréotype, marquant ainsi la naissance officielle de la photographie.

Image uniqe, sur plaque de cuivre recouverte d'argent, aux reflets changeants, polie, et souvent réfléchissante comme un miroir, l'invention de Daguerre devait définitivement modifier le regard posé sur le monde et ses représentations, artistiques comme scientifiques.

C'est bien cet "art nouveau au milieu d'une vieille civilisation", selon le propres termes du savant Gay-Lussac en 1839, que l'exposition et cet ouvrage entendent faire découvrir en s'attachant à la production française, dans toute sa diversité.

In the years immediately following Napoleon's defeat, French thinkers in all fields set their minds to the problem of how to recover from the long upheavals that had been set into motion by the French Revolution. Many challenged the Enlightenment's emphasis on mechanics and questioned the rising power of machines, seeking a return to the organic unity of an earlier age and triggering the artistic and philosophical movement of romanticism. Previous scholars have viewed romanticism and industrialization in opposition, but in this groundbreaking volume John Tresch reveals how thoroughly entwined science and the arts were in early nineteenth-century France and how they worked together to unite a fractured society. Focusing on a set of celebrated technologies, including steam engines, electromagnetic and geophysical instruments, early photography, and mass-scale printing, Tresch looks at how new conceptions of energy, instrumentality, and association fueled such diverse developments as fantastic literature, popular astronomy, grand opera, positivism, utopian socialism, and the Revolution of 1848. He shows that those who attempted to fuse organicism and mechanism in various ways, including Alexander von Humboldt and Auguste Comte, charted a road not taken that resonates today. Essential reading for historians of science, intellectual and cultural historians of Europe, and literary and art historians, The Romantic Machine is poised to profoundly alter our understanding of the scientific and cultural landscape of the early nineteenth century.
