The reader was thereby informed, entertained, and educated, the explicit aims of the whole enterprise. The first application of this new method was to Chevreul, from whose lips the reader would gather the secret of his longevity and his exact opinions about science and method, thus making these pages a “genuine encyclopedic breviary of the nineteenth century” (Nadar 1886).

Mechanical and (quasi-)automatic recording, it was therefore argued, guaranteed authenticity in capturing and rendering the visual and audi-tory components of the conversation, such that the reader became a virtual witness of the exchange between Nadar and Chevreul. Instead of admiring him from a distance, as conventional reporting and public celebrations required, the reader was now in a position to experience the great scientist for him-or herself.
