John Jackson (1887-1958), Chief Assistant at the Royal Observatory (1914-1933)

John Jackson came straight from Cambridge University to become Junior Chief Assistant at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich in 1914. In 1933 he moved to South Africa to become the Astronomer Royal at the Royal Observatory at the Cape of Good Hope, succeeding Harold Spencer Jones, who returned to Greenwich to succeed Frank Dyson as the Astronomer Royal. Jackson remained at the Cape until he retired in 1950.

Manufactured in the UK

All products are printed in the UK, using the latest digital presses and a giclée printmaking process.

We only use premium branded inks, and colours are independently verified to last between 100 and 200 years.

Delivery & returns

We print everything to order so delivery times may vary but all framed pictures are despatched within 5-7 days via courier or recorded mail.

Due to the coronovirus pandemic and Brexit situation, current shipping times may be longer, particularly for destinations outside the UK.

Delivery to the UK is £10 for a single framed print.

We will happily replace your order if everything isn’t 100% perfect.
