ROBERT GLEN (American, b. 1940) limited edition (4/6) bronze - camels drinking from a trough, signed and dated 1986, 39h x 48w x 31.5cms d, on black marble plinth.Provenance: private collection PembrokeshireAuctioneer's Note: Born in Kenya in 1940, Robert Glen’s interest in art and natural history began at an early age. At sixteen years old, he was accepted to serve an apprenticeship in taxidermy at the renowned studio of Coloman Jonas in Denver, Colorado. It was then that his interest in sculpture was born. Returning home after three years of training, he began a transition from taxidermy to sculpting animals in the European tradition of animaliers, working in various media before casting his first bronze in 1970. Since then, Robert Glen’s work has met with great success. His sculptures reside in many private collections including those of the late Queen, the Aga Khan, and the late Kenyan President Jomo Kenyatta. He has also held many one man shows in the USA, Canada, UK, Monte Carlo, Spain and South Africa. Robert Glen's public commissions include one of the largest equestrian sculptures in history, 'Mustangs of Las Colinas', in Texas.Comments: natural verdigris patina, very good overall.

This design, introduced by Oberhauser in 1835 was followed by several Parisian makers. It was often referred to as a 'Babushkina' microscope or Oberhauser Drum.This example is equipped with an angle prism which sets the tube horizontal. A mirror type Camera lucida is fitted at the eyepiece to assist in drawing. This and the prism can be removed for normal upright operation. There are three oculars which are achromatic but pre-date the introduction of the standard RMS thread, and a single eyepiece designed to hold the Camera lucida. There is a small substage which is moved by a lever. It can carry one of two cylindrical stops.Accessories include a mapping pen, probe, a white/black disc, a stage micrometer, stage forceps, trough, compressorium, mounted glass disc, and 10 small slides by Jo Bourgoyne. Also present in the velvet lined box were a Dancer microslide of Isambard Brunel at the Menai Bridge and a focussing eyepiece micrometer attachment. This does not fit and is probably by Nachet.ref: Billings Collection (1974) p194As viewed - appears to be in good condition. Some accessories/components may be missing.
