A travelling scientist is shown demonstrating the formation of a vacuum by withdrawing air from a flask containing a white cockatoo, though common birds like sparrows would normally have been used. Air pumps were developed in the 17th century and were relatively familiar by Wright's day. The artist's subject is not scientific invention, but a human drama in a night-time setting.
The bird will die if the demonstrator continues to deprive it of oxygen, and Wright leaves us in doubt as to whether or not the cockatoo will be reprieved. The painting reveals a wide range of individual reactions, from the frightened children, through the reflective philosopher, the excited interest of the youth on the left, to the indifferent young lovers concerned only with each other.
The figures are dramatically lit by a single candle, while in the window the moon appears. On the table in front of the candle is a glass containing a skull. 1768

Just one 'Flask' on the Seaton-on-Tees to Sellafield working on October 14th 2024, with FNA 70 9229 031-3 pictured as it heads west through Platform 2 at the MetroCentre.
DRS English Electric Type 1s 20 312 (front) and 20 304 shatter the peace at Askam-in-Furness station whilst heading 6K73, the Sellafield-Crewe Coal Yard flasks. Got lucky here: this patch of sun was just about the only one all day and the clean locomotive was acting as pilot. @17.55

From a rain-lashed window overlooking Hampstead High Street, Charles Ginner (1878-1952) drew this undated pen-and-ink view of Flask Walk. It is a remarkably unchanged scene today. Living just over a mile away downhill off the Finchley Road, I was a regular patron of The Flask, a Young’s pub at the right, between the 1970s and 2016.
The pedestrians’ attire suggest a date of around 1930 for this view. A fruit and veg vendor’s cart is at the head of Flask Walk. Hampstead is a very upscale district today, home for many actors and media folk, but in Ginner’s time the demographics were more varied, with many an aspiring artist trying to eke out a living from the proverbial garret room.

Bit of off-roading after dropping Jill off back at home..
Brought my flask and some flapjack, this looks like a perfect place to pause for a bit!!
So I did!! (Can you spot the flask?)
Took Jill to brunch this morning at Matlock - The Restoration Cafe, (very nice!) via a non direct route!!
Then after a ride back home the long way round, I dropped Jill off, filled my flask and headed back out again for a bit of an off roading coffee break! After that headed down to Ladybower to see the plugholes and went home via a wandering route!
