This notes the seasonal changes, wind direction and anything unusual such as the sighting of Aurora Borealis on the 8th February or the arrival of swallows. Howard published his readings to promote the study and use of the barometer in connection with other meteorological instruments. He classified and named different cloud types between 1803 and 1811, and his terminology and symbols are still largely used to describe clouds today. Howard's contribution to the developing science of meteorology led to him being made a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1821. ©SSPL/Science Museum); SSPL/UIG

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Autographic curve, Tottenham, London, 1817" takes us back in time to witness the meticulous observations of Luke Howard (1772-1864), a renowned meteorologist. The image showcases an illustrated plate from Howard's book 'Barometrographia' (1847) and is housed at the Science Museum in London. Within this intricate graph lies a treasure trove of weather data meticulously recorded by Howard himself. The accompanying notes detail the seasonal changes, wind direction, and even extraordinary occurrences such as the sighting of Aurora Borealis on February 8th or the arrival of swallows. These observations were crucial for understanding meteorological patterns and promoting the use of barometers alongside other instruments. Luke Howard's significant contributions to meteorology extended beyond his comprehensive records. He classified and named various cloud types between 1803 and 1811, establishing terminology and symbols that are still widely used today to describe clouds. His dedication to advancing scientific knowledge earned him recognition as a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1821. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured within this photo print, we can't help but appreciate Luke Howard's passion for unraveling nature's mysteries through careful observation. It serves as a testament to his pioneering spirit and enduring legacy in shaping our understanding of weather phenomena.
