About the Item

Wooden barometer with cedar wood trim at the edges, signed Caux Opticien Rue Rivoli près du Louvre Paris, mid-19th century; dial with the meteorological indications on paper printed by engraving on copper plate, while the manufacturer's indications are written with hand ink. Double pointer, the first one directly connected to the barometric tube indicates the trend of atmospheric pressure, the second one, positioned inside the center of the protective glass, is operated by a small knob placed outside the glass to check the variation in pressure over time; complete with thermometer with double Centigrade and Fahrenheit scale. Height 94 cm, width 26.3 cm depth / thickness 6 cm. Very good condition, fully functional. For safety during transport the barometer will be shipped emptied of mercury. The mercury will be placed in a sealed container in the package together with the barometer. When it was discovered, that changes of atmospheric pressure are connected to changes of weather, barometers became very popular. Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647), mathematician and physicist, Galileo’s disciple, was the fist one in 1643 to make an instrument for measure changes of air pressure.

  • William Gladstone Antique Signed Title Page, 19th Century
    Located in Jersey, GB
    A William Gladstone signed and inscribed title page. William Gladstone is the only person to serve four terms as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. He was first elected in 1868 and turned 84 during his final term in 1894. In that time he pushed for fundamental reforms, including votes for women and independence for Ireland. He remains one of Britain’s most inspirational leaders. This is the front page of an auction catalogue dated January 30, 1893 – Gladstone’s final year as Prime Minister.
