A fine George III mahogany bowfronted mercury stick barometer, Troughton, London, circa 1820, With swan neck pediment above silvered vernier scale calibrated in barometric inches and with the usual weather observations beneath signature Troughton, London to upper margin within moulded surround for the curved glass, the flame figured trunk of bowed profile and with ebony strung edges with convex throat moulding and vernier adjustment screw to upper section, the base with turned ebony half vase cistern cover flanked by lozenge inlaid canted angles with level adjustment to the cavetto moulded underside, (glass lacking), 100cm (39.5ins) high. The current lot was probably made by Edward Troughton who is recorded in Clifton, Gloria Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 as first working in partnership with his brother, John from several addresses in London (including Queen’s Square, Bartholemew and 136 Fleet Street) from 1788 until John’s death in 1804. Edward continued alone from their Fleet Street address until 1826 when he formed a partnership with William Simms which lasted until after Troughton’s death in 1831. Edward Troughton was apparently quite a character choosing to live a semi-reclusive life and was characterised by his snuff-stained wig and ear trumpet! However his skill both in the manufacture and design of fine instruments led him to be awarded lucrative contracts from The East India Company, The Board of Ordnance, the Royal Observatory and The Board of Longitude.

When only a Staff Sergeant he was put in charge of the Vehicle Park in Kure (Japan) during the period in which vehicles were being evacuated from Korea. Throughout this period he worked long hours, and by his devotion to duty set an excellent example to all those working under him. Since he has been in Japan he has taken an active part in the organisation of the Vehicle Park which he has from time to time commanded in the absence of an officer. Warrant Officer Garland has continued to give more than is asked of him and his outstanding example and devotion to duty merit high praise.'Subject to 20% VAT on Buyer’s Premium.

RICHARD LONG (b.1945): Born in Bristol, England in 1945, Long studied at Saint Martin`s School of Art, London during 1966-68 and is a former Turner Prize winning artist who made his international reputation during the 1970s with sculptures made as the result of long walks. These walks would often last many days, to remote parts of the world. Guided by a respect for nature and the formal structure of basic lines and shapes, with some sculptures evoking connotations with ancient stone circles or monuments. Long used different modes of presentation, sometimes combined, to bring the artist`s experience of nature back to the museum or gallery. For some works he used maps, words and photographs to present places, routes, things seen, thoughts evoked and actions performed. Others were three dimensional, assembled from natural elements such as twigs, driftwood or stones. Long stressed that the meaning of his work lay in the visibility of his actions rather than the representation of a particular landscape. Compton was the curator when the artist represented Great Britain at the Venice Biennale in 1976. Long was the recipient of the Turner Prize awarded at the Tate Gallery in London in 1989. In 2009 Tate Britain organised their major exhibition, Richard Long Heaven and Earth. 6 x 24in.
