EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate designs of thermometers from the 17th century, specifically from Jean Leurechon's treatise of 1624, La Recreation Mathematique. The line engraving, created by an American artist around 1900, beautifully captures the essence of these early scientific instruments. The image takes us back to a time when thermometers were still in their infancy and provides a glimpse into the ingenuity and creativity that went into their design. These thermometers represent one of the earliest attempts at measuring temperature accurately and revolutionizing our understanding of heat. Jean Leurechon's treatise marked a significant milestone in scientific history as it was the first work to use the term "thermometer". This groundbreaking publication paved the way for further advancements in temperature measurement and laid down foundations for future inventors. The French influence is evident in these designs, reflecting both elegance and precision. Each thermometer appears meticulously crafted with delicate details that highlight its functionality while also showcasing artistic flair. As we gaze upon this remarkable photo print, we are reminded of how far we have come since those early days. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and innovation - qualities that continue to drive progress even today.
