A GOOD 18TH-CENTURY 2IN. NAVAL SINGLE-DRAW TELESCOPE BEARING DUAL SIGNATURES FOR DOLLOND AND RAMSDEN, the tapering mahogany tube with brass draw signed Dollond London and Ramsden London, bulbous eye-piece with dust slide -- 38¼in. (97cm.) closed; contained in later canvas rod case, Jesse Ramsden married John Dollond’s youngest daughter in 1765, thus aligning two of the greatest instrument-making families in London. Dollond was justly famed for the quality of their optics and zealously guarded the acquired rights and subsequent patent to the invention of the achromatic lens against London competitors - a share of which was given to Ramsden as part of the dowry when he married Dollond’s daughter. It seems that in the instance of this lot, Ramsden simply acted as a retailer and had a somewhat hasty-looking signature added.

A RARE 18th-CENTURY 1¼IN. THREE-DRAW BRASS AND SHAGREEN REFRACTING “SUBSCRIPTION” TELESCOPE BY WILLIAM STORER, LONDON, with shagreen-covered main tube, lens cap and dust-slide to eye-piece, finely engraved on tube with the Royal Arms and inscribed underneath The Subscription Telescope / by the King’s Patent / Sero sed Serio / Warranted to be adjusted by Wm. Storer, / & delivered to the Subscribers / at Chas. Lincoln’s, / No.62 Leadenhall Street, / London, rack-and-pinion focus, further engraved on lower stage * Storer, Professor of Optics to His Majesty No.8 -- 7¾in. (19.6cm.) closed, William Storer worked in London (off Leicester Fields, now Leicester Square) between 1778-1789 but was bankrupted in 1784. These telescopes are discussed in the article reference below. The numbering seems to have been rather opaque and, despite the highest number (188) being sold in these rooms in April 2010. The present lot, the lowest number to date, brings the total known to just six examples, suggesting that Storer used random numbers to disguise low sales. That Sero sed Serio (Late, but in earnest) was included in the inscriptions is telling., Literature: De Clercq, Dr. P: Bulletin 98, (pp37-8) September 2008, Scientific Instrument Society.
