A Fine 2in Library Telescope By Ross & Co, English, c.1840, engraved in script around the eyepiece mount 'Andw Rofs & Co, 33 Regent St' the telescope on folding cabriole legs, with tall support terminating on a compass-type joint, with rack and pinion focus to eyepiece with 3 screw in objectives with sun and moon filter with eyepiece screw in cap and objective lens cap, in fitted French polished mahogany case, case width 77cm Andrew Ross, born in 1798 and died on September 8, 1859, he established his optical business in 1830, gaining recognition for his telescopes and microscopes. This specific telescope is an early achromatic example produced by Ross & Company. The inclusion of "& Company" in the signature indicates its production during the period when Ross was associated with Mr. Lister, a partnership that lasted from 1837 to 1842. Notably, the absence of a serial number is intriguing since Ross began using them in August 1842 after relocating the factory to 21 Featherstone Buildings, Holborn, according to Nuttall (Quek, Vol. 33, 1979). This shift coincided with the apparent end of Ross's business association with Lister.
