[Blatt (ca.36x24cm) an den Rändern etwas unfrisch und am unteren rechten Eck leicht knickfaltig.] Die Wochenzeitschrift "Vanity Fair" legte in den Jahren 1869 bis zu ihrer Einstellung 1914 jeder Ausgabe eine Farblithographie mit dem Porträt der sogenannten "Person der Woche" bei. Neben anderen namhaften Künstlern seien vor allem Sir Leslie Ward (London 1851 - 1922) und Carlo Pellegrini (Capua 1839 - London 1889) genannt, die unter dem Pseudonym "Spy"(Ward) und "Ape"(Pellegrini) Persönlichkeiten des öffentlichen Lebens karikierten.

1 S. auf Doppelblatt. 4to. Mit eh. Adresse und Siegelresten verso (Faltbrief). An den deutschen Astronomen und (ehemaligen) Leiter der Sternwarte im australischen Parramatta, Carl Rümker: "Professor Airy presents his compliments to Mr. Rumker, and begs to inform him that he lately saw M. Carlini of Milan [d. i. der italienische Astronom und Geodät Francesco Carlini], who is at present employed in improving the lunar tables, both by extending the theoretical investigations, and by comparing the tables with his own observations. Professor Airy was charged by M. Carlini, in case he should have an opportunity of communicating with Mr. Rumker, to request that on his return to Paramatta he would carefully observe the Moon's declination whenever it was possible. The accurate determination of parallax is necessary for several of M. Carlini's investigations, and this appears the most satisfactory of all methods for its determination [.]". - "1829 schiffte sich Rümker nach England ein, um in London neue Instrumente für das Observatorium und für ein australisches Vermessungsprojekt zu beschaffen. Dort wurden ihm Intrigen innerhalb der Royal Astronomical Society, scheinbar von Brisbane inszeniert, zum Verhängnis, so dass eine Rückkehr nach Parramatta nicht mehr möglich war" (Wikipedia). Im Jahr darauf wurde Rümker Direktor der Hamburger Sternwarte. - Mit Rundstempel der Handschriftensammlung J. K. Riess; stark angestaubt und knittrig; das Gegenblatt mit kleinem Ausriss durch Siegelbruch.

8vo. 1 p. on bifolium. A letter addressed to Michael Faraday, FRS, by the seventh Astronomer Royal, G. B Airy, from the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, on behalf of his First Assistant Robert Main, who is "extremely desirous of hearing the lecture of tomorrow evening". Airy thus asks Faraday, "Would it be convenient to you to send me a card of admission for him?". - Robert Main (1808-78), elder brother of the mathematician Thomas John Main, graduated in 1834 as sixth wrangler from Queens' College, Cambridge, and served for twenty-five years (1835-60) as First Assistant at the Royal Greenwich Observatory, publishing numerous articles, particularly on stellar and planetary motion, stellar parallax, and the dimensions and shapes of the planets. From 1841 to 1861 he was successively an honorary secretary, a vice-president, and President of the Royal Astronomical Society. In 1860 he became director of Radcliffe Observatory at Oxford University and was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society. An ordained priest of the Church of England, he preached regularly while living in Greenwich. - One light yellow stain and faint browning to the edges. The final page has pencil markings, some finger-staining and one tear to the upper left-hand corner. A poignant piece of evidence for the eagnerness among scientists in the first half of the eighteenth century to gain access to Faraday's innovative work on electromagnetism and electrochemistry.
