Cham, pseudonym of Amédée de Noé (1818-1879), is a French illustrator, caricaturist and playwright known and recognized.
This book is atypical and at the opposite of those received in schools!
It is a collection of very humorous illustrations, which are about the principles of Physics. With its simple, fast, sharp and precise style, Cham manages to make readers laugh about serious areas in the different fields of this science.

Conjectures physiques sur deux colonnes de nüe qui ont paru depuis quelques années & sur les extraordinaires effets du tonnerre. 

Paris, Veuve de Sébastien Mabre-Cramoisy, 1689.

950 €

First edition.
Illustrated with a folding plate and four figures in the text, two of which are full-page.
Lamy studies here two "lightning strikes" that had left their mark, the first on April 26, 1676 in Soissons had left an astonishing frieze (which is reproduced on the folding plate) in the dormitory of an Abbey. The second in Lagny on July 18, 1689, where lightning had struck the altar of the Church of Saint-Sauveur and imprinted the canon of the mass on its tablecloth.
Camille Flammarion devotes an entire chapter in his book "Les Caprices de la foudre" to Lamy's observations, and tells us: "A monk, Father Lamy, of the Congregation of Saint-Maur, published in 1696 [Editor's note: 2nd ed.] an excellent pamphlet, dictated by the clearest common sense, on the curious effects of lightning, which were then the subject of the most superstitious commentaries. Voltaire could not have reasoned better.".
