Pritchard, Andrew, A History Of Infusoria, HISTORY OF INFUSORIA, INCLUDING THE DESMIDIACEAE AND DIATOMACEAE,BRITISH AND FOREIGN. BY ANDREW PRITCHARD, Esq., M.R.I., AUTHOR OF THE MICROSCOPIC CABINET,' ETC. 4th Ed. 1861 , with 40 coloured plates to the rear, original green cloth binding, modern bookplate Andrew Pritchard, was an English naturalist and natural history dealer who made significant improvements to microscopes & microscopy during the 19th century. Born on December 14, 1804, and passing away on November 24, 1882. Pritchard's fascination with the natural world began early in his life, driving him to explore the intricate details of microscopic organisms. His belief in the unity of God and nature led him to align himself with the Unitarian movement, where he and his family devoted considerable energy. As a leading member of the Newington Green Unitarian Church in North London, Pritchard not only nurtured his spiritual beliefs but also worked tirelessly to establish educational institutions, including a school, reflecting his commitment to intellectual and moral advancement. Venturing into the world of optics, Pritchard established himself as an optician, offering a range of optical instruments, including microscopes. It was through his ventures in microscopy that he made some of his most enduring contributions to science. Pritchard's meticulous observations of microscopic organisms laid the groundwork for significant advancements in the field. Collaborating with C.R. Goring starting in 1830, Pritchard produced beautifully illustrated books showcasing the world of "animalcules," the microscopic organisms visible through the lens of his microscopes. His dedication to accuracy and detail in his work earned him acclaim and established his reputation as a leading authority in microscopy. Pritchard's shops, strategically located in central London, served as hubs of scientific inquiry and learning. Situated more towards The City than the West End, at various times, they were found at 162 Fleet Street, Pickett Street, and 312 & 263 The Strand. His List of 2000 Microscopic Objects, published in 1835, stands as a pivotal work in the history of microscopy. Notably, his History of the Infusoria, published in 1841, became a cornerstone text in the study of biological science, providing invaluable insights into aquatic microorganisms of the time. The significance of Pritchard's contributions to microscopy cannot be overstated. His works not only expanded the understanding of microscopic life but also inspired generations of scientists to delve deeper into the mysteries of the natural world. Pritchard's dedication to scientific inquiry extended beyond his publications; he actively engaged in discussions on optical instruments and patents, furthering innovation in the field. In his later years, Andrew Pritchard continued to reside in Highbury, London until his passing on November 24, 1882. His enduring legacy lives on through his seminal works and the impact he made in advancing the frontiers of microscopy and natural history. Today, his name remains synonymous with curiosity, precision, and a deep reverence for the wonders of the microscopic world.

AN OAK SCHRANK, PROBABLY MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, CIRCA 1775the moulded cornice above a plain frieze and geometric moulding, the panelled front and sides with two cupboard doors enclosing a fitted interior on four short drawers, shaped base and bracket feet. 212cm high, 190cm wide, 58cm deepProvenance: Dawesfield House, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USALots 92 - 175 form part of the original contents of Dawesfield, Lewis Lane, Ambler, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania - an iconic American farmhouse built by Abraham Dawes and by descent through generations of the female line. It served as the Revolutionary Headquarters of General George Washington from 20th October until 2nd November, 1777.Philadelphia was one of the foremost centers of cabinetmaking in early America and a cosmopolitan city. Following the immigration of Germans to American in the seventeenth century, the popularisation of German design concepts such as the Schrank typified the emergence of a distinct local vernacular culture of immigrant craftsmanship in Pennsylvania. Schranks were common pieces of furniture in southern Germany from the seventeenth century onward and the design predictably found its way to Philadelphia. Their large surface area facilitated the application of veneers, or freehand painted decoration. Traditional Schrank design used one side of the cabinet for hanging clothes, and the other for shelves and drawers. This lot is likely to have been used by George Washington during his stay in Dawesfield in 1777. Condition Report: In fairly good condition overall There are inevitable minor scuffs, scratches, dents, abrasions and shrinkage overall The schrank is formed in sections which can be broken down There are minor looses to the moulding Minor oxidisation to the hinges which are apparently original Otherwise the metalwork is replaced The interior with a later rail and pegs Not specific if shelves have been removed, current shelves are later Otherwise sturdy Possibly black walnut but medullary rays are visible in the timber See additional images
