A RARE 18th-CENTURY 1¼IN. THREE-DRAW BRASS AND SHA

Item Details

Description

A RARE 18th-CENTURY 1¼IN. THREE-DRAW BRASS AND SHAGREEN REFRACTING “SUBSCRIPTION” TELESCOPE BY WILLIAM STORER, LONDON
with shagreen-covered main tube, lens cap and dust-slide to eye-piece, finely engraved on tube with the Royal Arms and inscribed underneath The Subscription Telescope / by the King’s Patent / Sero sed Serio / Warranted to be adjusted by Wm. Storer, / & delivered to the Subscribers / at Chas. Lincoln’s, / No.62 Leadenhall Street, / London, rack-and-pinion focus, further engraved on lower stage * Storer, Professor of Optics to His Majesty No.8 -- 7¾in. (19.6cm.) closed
William Storer worked in London (off Leicester Fields, now Leicester Square) between 1778-1789 but was bankrupted in 1784. These telescopes are discussed in the article reference below. The numbering seems to have been rather opaque and, despite the highest number (188) being sold in these rooms in April 2010, the present lot, the lowest number to date, brings the total known to just six examples, suggesting that Storer used random numbers to disguise low sales. That Sero sed Serio (Late, but in earnest) was included in the inscriptions is telling.
