Description: | The first person to manufacture telescopes was probably the Dutch spectacle maker Hans Lippershey in 1608. However, telescopes had been invented and used by people before that. This small telescope was made Newcastle in the 1800s by Cail, a well-known instrument maker. It can be extended at both ends for use or pushed together into the protective leather cover. Because it is so small it can be carried in a pocket or bag, much like people today carry binoculars. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | small business made in the North East | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
