description In 1881, the first International Exposition of Electricity in Paris posited electricity as a new form of energy. The journal La Lumière électrique was created for the occasion and promoted forms of organisation and systems related to electricity although articles dealing with theoretical aspects remained uncommon. However from 1887 onwards several articles with mathematical input of a good level explained Maxwell’s electromagnetic theory of light and Helmholtz’s theory. These articles were written by young professors at Sorbonne University, all of whom were assistants to Henri Poincaré. They took up and discussed methods and ideas presented in Poincaré’s lectures published at the same time. Poincaré’s influence appeared even more clearly in 1894 when the name of the journal changed to L’Éclairage électrique and became a physics journal rather than one centred on electricity.
