Messrs. Scheutzs New Calculating Machine
Messrs. Pehr (Per) Georg Scheutz (1785-1873) and Edvard Scheutzs (of Stockholm, Sweden) New Calculating (Tabulating) Machine. The first Scheutzian calculation engine, invented in 1837 and finalized in 1843. This machine, which he constructed with his son Edvard Scheutz, was based on Charles Babbages difference engine. An improved model, roughly the size of a piano (pictured here), was created in 1853 and subsequently demonstrated at the Worlds Fair in Paris, 1855. Date: 1855

Step back in time with our captivating poster prints from Media Storehouse. This particular design showcases "Messrs. Scheutz's New Calculating Machine" - an engineering marvel from the 19th century. Created by the father-son duo, Pehr Georg Scheutz and Edvard Scheutz of Stockholm, Sweden, this calculating machine was a significant precursor to the modern computer. Add a touch of history and intrigue to your space with this exquisitely detailed and beautifully printed poster, sourced from the extensive archives of Mary Evans Prints Online. Perfect for offices, workshops, or any space seeking a unique and thought-provoking addition.
A2 Poster (59.4 x 42cm, 23.4" x 16.5" inches) printed on 170gsm Satin Poster Paper. Securely packaged, rolled and inserted into a strong mailing tube and shipped tracked. Poster Prints are of comparable archival quality to our Photographic prints, they are simply printed on thinner Poster Paper. Whilst we only use Photographic Prints in our frames, you can frame Poster Prints if they are carefully supported to prevent sagging over time.
Poster prints are budget friendly enlarged prints in standard poster paper sizes (A0, A1, A2, A3 etc). Whilst poster paper is sometimes thinner and less durable than our other paper types, they are still ok for framing and should last many years. Our Archival Quality Photo Prints and Fine Art Paper Prints are printed on higher quality paper and the choice of which largely depends on your budget.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases Messrs. Per Georg Scheutz and Edvard Scheutz's New Calculating Machine, a remarkable invention from Stockholm, Sweden, finalized in 1843. The father-son duo created this intricate machine based on the principles of Charles Xavier Thomas de Colmar and Pierre-Laurent Agnes de Sainte-Croix's difference engine, which Per Georg Scheutz had studied during his time in England. The machine, displayed here in an improved model from 1853, is roughly the size of a piano and was designed to perform complex numerical calculations with great precision. The Scheutzian calculation engine, an essential precursor to modern computers, was driven by an intricate network of cogs, wheels, and mechanized components. It was capable of performing calculations based on differences, making it particularly effective for solving algebraic equations and performing complex mathematical operations. The machine's advanced design and impressive capabilities earned it international recognition, leading to its demonstration at the World's Fair in Paris in 1855. This image offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of 19th-century mathematics and mechanical engineering, where the foundations of modern computing were being laid down through ingenious inventions like the Scheutzian calculating machine.
