It is the fruit of the work of Fran\u00e7ois Levaillant (1753\u20131824), French explorer, collector and ornithologist. Having developed a great interest from his parents in the mysteries of nature and birds, Levaillant set out for South Africa in 1781.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1790, he published <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travels into the Interior Parts of Africa, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">based on his recollections. This was followed by <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travels into the Interior Parts of Africa, Vol. 2<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in 1796. That same year he began work on his <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural History of African Birds,<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which is shown here.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The success of this work was due, in large part, to the illustrations by Jacques Barraband (1767\u20131809). A painter and illustrator specializing in ornithology, he was the first to introduce color engravings in France.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;11168&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; hide_pagination_control=&#8221;yes&#8221; hide_prev_next_buttons=&#8221;yes&#8221; wrap=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1623760692926{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-right: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Weight lifter&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23a18526&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1627322652037{margin-bottom: 13px !important;padding-right: 2vh !important;padding-left: 2vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1627323069125{padding-right: 2vh !important;padding-left: 2vh !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Glass, varnished wood, brass and rubber\r\nJoseph Wightman, United States\r\nCirca 1839\r\n58 x 40 cm<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This object is called a weight lifter, a device invented by Joseph M.\u00a0Wightman in 1839. The inventor owned a company that supplied scientific instruments to educational institutions, which could explain how this object ended up in the Ursulines\u2019 collection.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The device can lift up to 45.35\u00a0kg (100\u00a0pounds). A weight is placed on the hook that hangs from one end of the bag, centered between the three wooden legs. The air inside the apparatus is then pumped out using the brass cylinder on top of the glass globe. The external air pressure becomes greater than the internal pressure, moving the bag upwards toward the inside of the glass globe, which in turn lifts the weight off the ground. This demonstration helps people visualize the force of air pressure.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_images_carousel images=&#8221;8938&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; hide_pagination_control=&#8221;yes&#8221; hide_prev_next_buttons=&#8221;yes&#8221; wrap=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1622664153239{margin-top: 25px !important;margin-right: 10px !important;margin-left: 10px !important;border-right-width: 5px !important;border-left-width: 5px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Fraction apple&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23a18526&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1627322665535{margin-bottom: 13px !important;padding-right: 2vh !important;padding-left: 2vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1627323108861{padding-right: 2vh !important;padding-left: 2vh !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Wood, stain, ink and glue\r\nIndustrial manufacture, United States\r\nCirca 1890\r\n7 x 8 cm<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Used for teaching fractions in class, this apple is part of a set containing 14 pieces that can be assembled on 6 different bases.
