Hygroscope design, 1893 C013 / 9103
Hygroscope design. 19th-century artwork of a simple home-made hygroscope design using a twisted helix of paper connected to a pointer on a sheet of card. As atmospheric water content increases or decreases, the paper helix will expand or contract, causing the pointer to rotate around the marked dial, indicating higher or lower water content. Artwork from the 12th volume (second period of 1893) of the French popular science weekly La Science Illustree

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable hygroscope design from 1893, an ingenious creation that revolutionized atmospheric water content detection. Crafted during the 19th century, this artwork depicts a simple yet effective homemade instrument using a twisted helix of paper connected to a pointer on a card sheet. As the moisture in the atmosphere increases or decreases, the absorbent paper helix expands or contracts accordingly, causing the pointer to rotate around the marked dial. This rotation indicates higher or lower water content levels with precision and accuracy. The historical significance of this technological marvel cannot be overstated. It served as an essential tool for meteorologists and hydrologists in understanding weather patterns and humidity variations during that era. Published in La Science Illustree, a renowned French popular science weekly magazine, this artwork beautifully captures both educational and scientific aspects. Created by Louis Figuier, this monochrome illustration exemplifies innovation and ingenuity prevalent in 19th-century designs. The intricate details showcased here not only highlight its functionality but also serve as a testament to human curiosity about our environment. As we admire this piece of history captured by Science Photo Library, it reminds us of how far we have come technologically while appreciating those who laid the foundation for modern meteorological advancements.
