In the 1600s, barometers were relatively new inventions, primarily developed by Evangelista Torricelli in 1643. The cost of a barometer during that time varied significantly based on craftsmanship and materials, but it could range from a few shillings to several pounds. For many, this made barometers an expensive item, often considered a luxury for wealthy individuals or scientific institutions.
