Les Vues animées de l'Abbé Nollet - Lot 201
Les Vues animées de l'Abbé Nollet Magic Lantern Views Attributed to Jean-Antoine Nollet, circa 1770 These figures have movements that seem to animate them. One is a windmill whose wings turn [...]. One can see in the essays on Physics by Mr. Peter van Musschenbroek how this is done. I will say that in general this is done by means of two pieces of glass, one of which carries a part of the figure; the other, placed above, which is only in charge of the mobile part, is set in motion by means of a cord or a small ruler which slides into a slide made in the thickness of the board. J.-A. Nollet, Leçons de Physique expérimentale, 1771. Painted views on glass plates, one fixed in the metal support, the other set with a brass circle, inserted between three casters. The latter is animated by a rotational movement printed by the crank, transmitted by a taut wire. Two subjects: - The windmill - The swing Condition Complete. In working order. The threads need to be re-tensioned. Dimensions Diameter of the glasses 90 mm
