Calculators From The Past...Must see!!!

Today it has become hard and unnecessary to do maths in your head, because everybody’s got a calculator. The calculator is a genius invention and range way back to year 1623, but was first produced and sold in 1820. This was really old calculators that can’t compare with those that are on the market today

Most of them are super modern with several functions so that calculation gets easier. Andy Aaron is doing the opposite; he is making antique Victorian-era calculators by using switches, levers and cranks. The calculators, that Andy himself calls “Aaron Adding Machines”, cannot do it all, they only perform basic calculations.

These badboys cost about $5000 and more, because Aaron and his workers are only producing up to 3 calculators per each year. Some would say that it is expensive, but you can’t really but a price on antique objects. If you like antiques you should check out this Steampunk House made in Victorian style.










Ten Striking Photos of 200-Year Old Animals..

Anatomist John Hunter collected and preserved these animals more than two hundred years ago, and artist Elaine Duigenan photographed them on display at the Royal College of Surgeons in England. The results are hauntingly beautiful captures of nature no longer in motion.

Slow and Steady


Duigenan gives every object she works with new meaning beyond its form. Pictured here is a Bradypus tridactylus, or pale-throated sloth.

A Batty Point of View

“For me, photography has become an ‘act of preservation,’ and objects I focus on become the locators or igniters of memory,” Duigenan says. This is a close-up picture of a preserved bat.

Scaly Sedation

Duigenan’s work with Hunter’s preserved animals took three years to complete. Hunter completed his work over the course of thirty-three years, from 1760 to 1793.

Chicken Legs, Toad-Style

Shown here is the lower body of a Pipa monstrosa, the scientific name for Surinam toads, which hail from South America and are sometimes called star-fingered toads.

Clawing Toward Greatness

Phalangista vulpina is a name as intimidating as the claws onging to it—“possum” has such a cuter, gentler connotation.

A Fish in Prayer Form

This is a picture of a flying gurnard, a fish that’s found mostly in warm, tropical waters. Duigenan’s lighting highlights every detail of these amazing creatures masterfully.

Preparing for Takeoff

It almost looks like this Sciuropterus volucella, or flying squirrel, is smiling for the camera—or lunging at it, depending on your perspective.

Majestic Manatee

Here, Duigenan has taken a preserved sea cow and given it a depth of character and emotion. She shows life in the most lifeless of objects.

Flipper’s Ancestor

“The traces and remnants we find in any landscape can spark recognition,” Duigenan says of her work. “They can even invoke a presence.”

Penguins That Bray Together

The scientific name of this creature, Spheniscus, is less funny than its present name: jackass penguin. These South American and South African
