Pocket telescope - draw tube inscription

The barrel of this achromatic telescope is made of mahogany and there are three brass draw tubes. The other brass fittings include a sliding eyepiece cover. The objective lens cap is missing. The original leather case also survives. The maker's name appears on the smallest draw tube as 'BANKS LONDON / Instrut. Maker to his / MAJESTY'. Several parts also have the numerals 'III' roughly inscribed on them, probably as part of the manufacturing and assembly process. Like NAV1680, this telescope once belonged to Captain Oliver Stokes RN.

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.
