EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable 6-draw Telescope, dating back to the second half of the 17th century in Rome. Crafted by Carlo Antonio Buttieri, this pasteboard instrument stands at an impressive length of 45 cm. The telescope itself is a testament to the ingenuity and scientific advancements of its time. With six draws, it allowed for precise adjustments and magnification capabilities that were groundbreaking during this era. The boxwood eyepiece and venetian lens further enhanced its optical prowess. Accompanied by a sturdy wrought iron tripod stand, this telescope was not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing with its intricate design and attention to detail. Its objective mount ensured stability while observing celestial bodies or distant landscapes. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece of equipment, we are transported back in time to an age when science was flourishing and exploration knew no bounds. This telescope serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable curiosity about the world beyond our reach. Now preserved within a private collection, this Italian masterpiece continues to inspire awe and admiration for both its historical significance and artistic craftsmanship. It is through images like these that we can appreciate the beauty found in scientific instruments from centuries past – objects that have shaped our understanding of the universe around us.
