EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two significant experiments in the history of gas pressure and atmospheric pressure measurement. On the left, we see Evangelista Torricelli's groundbreaking experiment conducted in 1643 using his Barometre, a mercury tube. This experiment was instrumental in understanding atmospheric pressure and laid the foundation for further scientific advancements. On the right side of the image, we witness Blaise Pascal's experiment at the Tour Saint Jacques in Paris. Pascal, a renowned physicist from 1623 to 1662, used a tube similar to Torricelli's to delve deeper into our understanding of gas pressure. The anonymous illustration from 1925 captures these historical moments with great detail and precision. It is fascinating to observe how knowledge has evolved over time through experimentation and observation of natural elements like gas. The St Jacques Tower provides an iconic backdrop for Pascal's experiment, adding a touch of grandeur to this depiction. The vibrant colors used in this engraving bring life to these historical events that have shaped our understanding of energy and physical phenomena. Overall, this print serves as a reminder of humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge throughout history and highlights the contributions made by individuals like Torricelli and Pascal towards unraveling nature's mysteries.
