This happy couple is bound for the altar, if this string-pull net or cage contraption is to be believed... But isn't that a graveyard in front?

Volvelle Calendar!

Peter Apian's 1524 Cosmographia has some memorable hand coloring through that cut-out solar-lunar dial, doesn't it? #MovableMonday #NewberryLibrary

A Grave Error Has Been Made

This 1806 drawing of the Port Royal Abbey church shows 18 graves c. 1651 on, including esteemed former abbesses. The flap adds 22, but most were moved with little ceremony at the church's 1712 destruction.

Moon-o-centric?

Curious, yet prize-winning book about the tides implying that the earth orbits the moon.
Its novel string attachments attempt to demonstrate this phenomenon... Neither the theory nor these wacky movable parts were adopted by later scholars.
