A humorous take on one of the oldest traditions of weather forecasting. Instead of mercury, capsules, or electronics, this “barometer” relies on the tail of a remarkably cooperative donkey. Dry tail? Fine weather. Wet tail? Rain. No tail in sight? Fog. The remaining forecasts are equally reliable. Printed on high-quality cardstock, this postcard is fully mailable yet charming enough to keep as a collectible or display alongside a real barometer. A perfect gift for weather enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates scientific humor. Standard postcard size.
A richly illustrated 300-page book exploring the history, science, and evolution of weather instruments. From Torricelli’s pioneering experiments and the invention of the barometer to aneroid mechanisms, barographs, storm glasses, and the masterpieces of Fabergé, the book combines scientific history, engineering, and the art of instrument making. Featuring hundreds of illustrations, historical engravings, and photographs of rare instruments from the author’s collection. Language: Russian. Signed by the author.
