Description: Directory of British Scientific Instrument Makers 1550-1851 By Gloria CliftonPublished: Philip Wilson Publishers, 2003.Hardcover in original binding and dust jacket. Not Ex-Lib. This publication lists over 5,000 scientific instrument makers and retailers working in the British Isles, together with a further 10,000 names of apprentices and associates. The directory transforms our understanding of the history of the scientific instrument-making trades in Britain.Each entry includes estimated working dates, specific trades, addresses, training, apprentices, types of instruments made and brief biographical details. As such this volume not only provides essential information for collectors, dealers, museum curators and scholars, but it will also have much to offer economic, social and family historians, with its evidence about master-apprentice links, trade connections and family relationships.I've done my best to describe the book, but if you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.
