About This Item

He taught physics at Monpelier and performed numerous experiments on electricity, including experiments with lightning rods. Bertholon supplied lightning rods to buildings throughout the south of France as his friend Benjamin Franklin had done in the American colonies, using pointed lightning rods such as the large one on the dome of the State House in Maryland.
