Bullseye from Newton (second half of the
19th century) Bullseye
engraved with ‘Newton, England’ on the base. This item should be dated to the
second half of the 19th century. Frederick Newton formed a partnership with
his distant cousin William in 1851, producing microscopes, telescopes,
cameras, globes, and other apparatus. The partnership ended by the end of
1856 or early 1857, with Frederick continuing an optical business as Newton
& Co. It looks that Newton & Co. mostly focused in producing magic
lantern projection systems and cameras by the 1880s. LAST
