EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two experimental barometers used by the Accademia dell Cimento in Florence, Italy, in 1691. On the left is a closed tube with mercury, while on the right is a double water barometer. These scientific instruments were essential for measuring atmospheric pressure during the 17th century. The image is taken from "Saggi di naturali esperienze fatte nell Accademia del Cimento" (Tests of Natural Experiences), a book first published in 1666 that documented the groundbreaking work conducted by the Accademia Cimento between 1657 and 1667. The engraving beautifully captures the intricate details of these metal barometers, highlighting their importance as tools for understanding physics and conducting experiments. The monochrome aesthetic adds to its historical charm, transporting us back to an era when scientific discoveries were made through meticulous observation and experimentation. Located within this photograph are not just objects but also stories of innovation and intellectual curiosity. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in our understanding of measurement and pressure while honoring those who paved the way for modern science. This remarkable print from Oxford Science Archive allows us to appreciate both the beauty and significance of these early scientific apparatuses, reminding us that even centuries-old instruments can still inspire awe and admiration today.
