Explore Photography, Science & Travel, a varied and engaging selection of cameras, optical & scientific instruments and historically significant travel-related pieces.
The catalogue traces the development of photography from the 19th century to the present day. Highlights include a Voigtländer & Sohn brass Euryscop lens, an evocative example of early optical craftsmanship, and an Ensign Cinematograph cine camera, reflecting the growing accessibility of moving image technology in the early 20th century. At the other end of the spectrum, a RED Epic-W Helium 8K camera body and a Cooke Mini S4/i prime lens represent the cutting edge of modern cinematography, while the ever-popular Olympus MJU II compact camera offers enduring appeal for film enthusiasts.
Scientific instruments provide further interest, with pieces such as a 19th century brass dipleidoscope by E.J. Dent and a brass telescope by J. Lizars demonstrating the precision and ingenuity of historic makers. A pair of Zeiss marine binoculars adds a practical yet highly collectable element to the sale.
The travel section is equally compelling, featuring early printed material including Bradshaw’s 1839 Northern Railway Time Table, a landmark publication from the dawn of the railway age.
With its combination of historic and contemporary material, the sale offers a broad and accessible range for collectors, specialists and enthusiasts alike. Browse the catalogue and place your bids now.
