A VERY FINE ¾IN. PINK SHAGREEN AND GILT-BRASS FOUR-DRAW VELLUM-COVERED CARD TELESCOPE BY J.

(37cm.) closed; 42in. (107cm.) open, mounted on associated turned wooden Georgian telescope table stand -- 18in. (46cm.) high (2) This telescope represents an expensive commission made at the apex of the pre-achromatic development of the refracting telescope and dates to between 1747 and the maker's death in 1759 at just 40 years of age. James Ayscough (1719-59) was one of the most creative and innovative London telescope opticians in the formative experimental period which led directly to the achromatic doublet objective being patented in 1758 by John Dollond Snr (1703-61). The son of a Wiltshire parson, at 13 he was apprenticed to James Mann II (w.1706-d.1756) and as such was at the forefront of many such achromatic lens trials from their inception by the London barrister Chester Moor Hall. Latterly educated at Christ's College, Cambridge, Ayscough gained his Freedom in 1740 under James Mann II, with whom he was later in partnership between 1743 and 1747. He became an independent maker in 1748 where he was known for quality experimental optical designs and published a fine optical treatise in 1752 entitled A Short Account of the Eye and Nature of Vision, chiefly designed to Illustrate the Use and Advantage of Spectacles. This aroused great jealousy and ire amongst other London opticians for promoting hard green crown glass, being rather expensive to procure and time-consuming to polish. Literature: 1. Gee, B, ed.
