About the Item
Cannocchiale in ottone con impugnatura rivestita di cuoio e messa fuoco a due allunghi, completo di tappo e di linguetta parapolvere. Manifattura inglese della seconda metà dell'800. Lunghezza massima cm 40, inches 15.7, minima cm 16,5,- inches 6.7 diametro focale cm 3 – inches 1.2.
Buono stato, perfettamente funzionante e completo di base d’appoggio in legno e ottone realizzata su misura.
Per mettere a fuoco il cannocchiale bisogna allungarlo tutto e poi lentamente accorciare l’ultimo allungo, quello più piccolo, finchè l’immagine non è a fuoco.
Secondo la leggenda, un giorno imprecisato del 1608 i figli di Hans Lipperhey, che era un occhialaio di Middelburg , stavano giocando nel laboratorio del padre con delle lenti. Quando uno dei figli mise una lente concava vicino al proprio occhio, tenendo nell’altra mano una lente convessa, e tendendo il braccio in direzione della punta del campanile della cattedrale vi guardò attraverso, vide ingrandirsi e avvicinarsi il gallo segnavento che si trovava sulla cima. Mostrato subito il fenomeno al padre, egli fissò le lenti su un’assicella per rendere più agevole l’osservazione, creando così il primo rudimentale cannocchiale. Purtroppo per Lipperhey però, quando presentò agli stati generali una richiesta di brevetto per questo strumento, in pochi giorni anche altri occhialai olandesi rivendicarono l’invenzione.
