Archers View of the Path of Halley's Comet From Aug. 1835 to Feb. 1836. Delineated from the Observations of Mr. Lubbock.

London: Published June 15th, 1835 by Gilbert [-] Paternoster Row.
Coloured engraving, 125 x 145mm, with vovelle, 105mm in diameter. One small chip in edge, part of publication line illegible.
The dial shows the constellations and months against a 24-hour clock, allowing the viewer to work out the position of Halley's Comet at any time. An unusual piece of ephemera, especially with the vovelle intact.
[Ref: 446]  £550.00
