The Queen’s Android
Marie-Antoinette’s dulcimer player, forerunner of the robot.
Date: 1784, Paris, musée des Arts et Métiers
This famous android was a collaborative effort by two Germans. Clockmaker Peter Kintzing created the mechanism and joiner David Roentgen crafted the cabinet; the dress dates from the 19th century. Automatons were in circulation and aroused much curiosity. Roentgen probably sent the tympanum to the French court and Marie-Antoinette bought it in 1784. The queen, aware of its perfection and scientific interest, had it deposited in the Academy of Sciences cabinet in 1785. The tympanum is a musical instrument that plays eight tunes when the female android strikes the 46 strings with two little hammers. Tradition has it that she is a depiction of Marie-Antoinette.
DUDE.
Aw man, is that real? That’s amazing. *u*
I love automatons
Aww, anon it’s okay; I’m about as technically literate as a potato so usually it’s me feeling dumber than a pile of bricks and not asking, but really you just have to ask and then it will alllll beeee okaaaaay.
Usually.
The full title of the comic is The Property of Hate. Anyway I always link to both of the sites that the comic updates on when I make my TPoH: update posts, but just for you here’s the links to the Smackjeeves site and the Comicfury site. Just click on the text and you’re off! It links to the latest page though so OOPS slight spoilers I guess.
Now if you’ll excuse me I have an urgent appointment with a pillow and a mattress.
I was wondering if anyone would spot that, well done!
Yes, he is pretty damned scared of water; but then I think you would be too if your head was an electrical appliance.
/briefly wonder why I haven’t tried this style before
/realize too late it’s because IT’S SODDING HARD
