British Coins and Medals, Benedetto Pistrucci (1783-1855), an original white wax portrait design, seemingly for the farthing of the first issue copper coinage of George IV, c.1821, the left-facing draped bust, laureate with 13 leaves in wreath, tied behind the head with ribband, set onto a thin circle of slate, squared for scale, 103mm.

Noël Marie Paymal Lerebours (16 February 1807 – 23 July 1873) was a French optician and daguerreotypist. He formed a partnership with Marc Secretan in 1845, the firm then being known as Lerebours et Secretan. Later polariscopes of this size were made but they used a Nicol prism. The complexity and size of this instrument suggests that it was used at the forefront of research into polarised light and is a rare survivor from an early period.
