A GOOD MID 19TH-CENTURY DIPLEIDOSCOPE BY E.J. DENT, constructed in oxidised-brass, signed on the polished-brass cap, countersigned and numbered to side E.J. Dent Patentee 624, levelling screw, bubble level and compass, contained within original mahogany box, together with a copy of Dent’s Table for the equation of time, 1846 to accompany his new meridian instrument, and a note attributing provenance to Captain Thomas Levois, in the slave trade most of his time, the lid containing polarising filter. Overall measurements -- 6in. (15cm.) square, The dipleidoscope was patented in 1843 by James Bloxam and marketed by Edward Dent for timing the meridian transit of the sun. The mirror cell contains a hollow, right-angled prism, with two sides silvered and one of glass. The meridian transit was determined by the coincidence of two images of the sun by single and double reflection, one from the top glass and the other from both mirrors. With the base properly levelled and oriented, the meridian transit could be read to seconds.

A REMARKABLE 1:96 SCALE MODEL DIORAMA OF THE VICTORY PREPARING TO SAIL, ANCHORED OFF AGINCOURT SOUND, SARDINIA, AT 3.45PM ON THE 19TH JANUARY 1805 WITH THE CAPTAINS OF THE ACTIVE AND SEAHORSE APPROACHING TO REPORT, modelled and presented from his own exhaustive researches by T. Davies; the Victory fully modelled in fruit and box woods with planked hull copper sheathed below the waterline, contrasting black and yellow hull with open gun ports on upper two decks with guns fitted with red tompions run out forward, the latter ports glazed, finely carved head-piece, glazed stern and quarter galleries with internal fittings visible, planked decks and bound masts with standing and running rigging of correct weight, yards and stun’s’l booms, flying the signal to ‘unmoor’ from the mizzen mast, the decks crowded with numerous crew and officers undertaking tasks including furling sails, stowing anchor ropes, preparing to raise an approaching pinnace, with a company of marines being drilled, the poop deck with Nelson pointing and Hardy watching as Pascoe stows signal flags, the whole mounted in a 6in. deep rippled green glass sea with painted white flecking, a pinnace with ten oarsmen, two officers and a marine approaching, contained in a bespoke glazed case with backdrop and stern views painted by Geoff Hunt showing the headland and rest of squadron, internal electric lighting, dust trap and legend to front, mounted on tapering legs. Measurements overall -- 75 x 53½ x 26in. (190.5 x 136 x 66cm.); framed charts of location and description of activities; service table, (5). Born of a frustration with the inadequacies of some models to show the Victory accurately enough and to put it into an interesting moment of history, this model evolved into what is possibly the most complex and detailed presentation of this famous ship yet undertaken. Log books and site visits were used to determine Victory’s precise anchorage at this date, from which photographs and period pictures were used by renowned marine artist Geoff Hunt to provide the backdrop canvases; detailed discussions with historians and the curator of H.M.S. Victory were undertaken to extraordinary degrees to establish precisely the arrangement of the vessel at this date - there was a small refit before the Battle of Trafalgar which provided additional challenges. Three years of trials were taken with the sea to get it realistic. It is uniquely poured around the hull to conform to the modeller’s wishes to create the correct light refraction, so the hull and anchor cable look as they did when Nelson gave the order to set sail. The success of the vignettes on the deck, in the rigging and the pinnace is a rare achievement with very few models so successfully employing this detail. To preserve the model for posterity, the modeller designed an airtight case with temperature-controlled climate and a dust trap on top, however should anything ever come astray, full instructions on how to access it are provided along with a table of the right height to slide the model on.
