EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the exquisite Thermometer barometer of Bourbon and Assier-Perricat, a remarkable invention from around 1770 in Paris. The photo print, taken by French School in the 18th century, is now housed at CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Metiers) in Paris. The image transports us back to a time when scientific instruments were not only functional but also works of art. This particular piece demonstrates the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into creating such devices during the Enlightenment period. The Thermometer barometer of Bourbon and Assier-Perricat stands as a testament to France's rich history of innovation. Its intricate design reflects both elegance and precision, with delicate engravings adorning its surface. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can almost imagine how it would have looked hanging on the walls of an esteemed scientist or nobleman's study. In an era before modern meteorological technology, this instrument provided valuable insights into weather patterns and atmospheric conditions. It served as an essential tool for understanding nature's forces and predicting changes in climate. Through this print captured by Photo Josse, we are granted a glimpse into the past – a moment frozen in time that allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this object but also its significance within the realm of scientific discovery.
