"Electrical Discharge of Bodies Electrified by Points" is a notable plate from the 18th-century work "Essai sur l'électricité des corps" by Abbé Bertholon de Saint-Lazare, which was published in 1780. The plate illustrates the phenomenon of electrical discharge from electrified bodies through pointed conductors, a subject of significant interest during the era's burgeoning exploration of electrical science. Bertholon, a French physicist and naturalist, contributed to the understanding of electricity and its properties through his experiments and observations, which were encapsulated in his treatise.

The plate itself, often referenced in historical studies of electricity, captures the experimental setup used to demonstrate how pointed objects, when brought near an electrified body, can facilitate the discharge of electricity. This phenomenon was crucial to the development of early theories of electrical conduction and influenced the design of practical devices such as the lightning rod, famously promoted by Benjamin Franklin.

Bertholon's work, including the "Electrical Discharge of Bodies Electrified by Points" plate, reflects the Enlightenment's scientific rigor and curiosity. It stands as a testament to the period's intellectual climate, where empirical research and the dissemination of knowledge through detailed illustrations were highly valued. The plate not only serves as a historical record of 18th-century scientific inquiry but also as a visual representation of the principles that underpin modern electrical science.
