STANLEY'S PARALLEL-RULER

Details
STANLEY'S PARALLEL-RULER

An ebonised wooden parallel-ruler, with brass crosspieces, and standing studs, 155 x 35mm. (unopened), with label inscribed 'H.M. Stanley, Livingstone Expedition 1870-1872', and paper inventory number 49.

A rare surviving mathematical instrument, useful for plotting on existing maps or drawing up maps of newly explored areas. Stanley was not known to have been a great mapper of territory so it is interesting that this instrument survived and was later labelled for exhibition.
Special notice
No VAT will be charged on the hammer price, but VAT at 17.5% will be added to the buyer's premium which is invoiced on a VAT inclusive basis
