Life Size Automaton of a Card Distributor
Ойын-сауық
Life Size Automaton Card Distributor. Made 1910 in Paris. Using a vacuum pump powered by an early electric motor to lift a card from the top of a stack. Made by Jouet et Automates Francais (J. A. F.) to exploit the newly invented electric motor power that subsumed Clockwork. Usually dressed in a bellboy uniform there is another example in The National Museum of Monaco.

The eye brow movement on this piece is everything! It just makes the whole thing for me, just lovely.
Quite a charming fellow. Look at that cheeky expression.

Is the vacuum pump stock? I didn't know they used suction cups already back then

i just looked it up, the suction cups as we know today were patented in the 1860s! didn’t know that tbh
May we see a restoration of this piece?
