EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable piece of history - a Wheel barometer crafted by J. Ortelli & Co. during the first half of the 19th century. Made from mahogany, glass, and metal, this exquisite instrument stands at an impressive length of 98 cm. The intricate design features a breakarch pediment on the case, adding an elegant touch to its overall appearance. What sets this barometer apart is its unique placement of both an alcohol thermometer and hygrometer. The thermometer can be found attached to the trunk, while the hygrometer is unusually positioned at the center dial with a diameter measuring 20.3cm. With its Georgian influence evident in every detail, this British-made wheel barometer represents not only a measurement tool but also serves as a testament to craftsmanship during the Regency and Victorian eras. Capturing attention with its broken pediment and expertly constructed wheel mechanism, this Ortelli creation was truly ahead of its time in terms of functionality and aesthetics. Now part of a private collection, this stunning photograph allows us to appreciate the beauty and ingenuity behind such historical instruments. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of how our ancestors sought innovative ways to gauge weather patterns and measure atmospheric pressure - skills that continue to shape our understanding of meteorology today.
