The Henry Power*s* linked to is an American born 150 years too late.
It seems that the Halifax air pump, if it existed, would have belonged to a Henry Power (no s) (1626-1668) of New Hall, Elland.

well how did it work?? little more information please. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.142.163.7 ( talk) 07:09, 17 January 2007 (UTC).
is the picture supposed to be like that Tikai 13:47, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
There's bunch of vandalism happening
"The Air Pump [1768] departed from previous painting conventions by depicting a scientific subject in the reverential manner formerly reserved for scenes of historical and religious significance."
Compare this with
“In 1632, Rembrandt painted his first group portrait, The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. This painting, which depicts Dr. Tulp demonstrating the anatomy of the hand to fellow members of the Amsterdam Surgeons’ Guild, secured Rembrandt’s reputation by introducing to the staid genre of group portraiture some of the anecdotal interest and narrative action of a history painting … “
Stephanie S. Dickey, Dutch Art: An Encyclopedia ed Muller, Garland 1997
“Shortly after the turn of the seventeenth century, surgeons began to commission group portraits of themselves seated around a dissection or an anatomy lesson. Rembrandt’s Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp is the best-known example of the genre painted also by Aert Pieterz., Thomas de Keyser, and Nicolas Eliasz Pickenoy.”
Ann Jensen Adams, Dutch Art: An Encyclopedia ed Muller, Garland 1997
The statement may be true for British painitng conventions, but I doubt it; can this either be validated or updated? Thanks, appreciated.

There seem to be long stretches of unsourced material. The second paragraph of the main section only has one cite in it, and there're sentences with words like "probably." I'm practically talking to a brick wall here since nobody's touched this @(*#$ talk page in over a year, but can someone PLEASE do a doublecheck on the sources?

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:An Experiment on a Bird in an Air Pump by Joseph Wright of Derby, 1768.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on May 8, 2017. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2017-05-08. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich ( talk) 01:24, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
I removed this from the article:
Unfortunately, no source is given, and I can't at a quick glance find any source (other than those obviously copying Wikipedia) asserting that the location of the painting has been identified as Darwin's house. This is a well-known painting, so if it is generally understood that its location has been positively identified, it shouldn't be hard to find a source before reintroducing this.

Why do think the painting back then meant differently Dear.Jang ( talk) 21:32, 1 February 2023 (UTC)
