This is probably the largest paper telescope in Great Britain. The body
of the instrument is entirely covered with thick brown paper, its length
being 25ft., and the object glass 12in. in diameter. With this
apparatus, the mountains on the surface of the moon appear with great
clearness. The group represents a family studying astronomy. The girl
standing by the side of the gentleman looking through the telescope
holds a Nautical Almanac in her hand, and is aiding the observers with
details from its valuable records.
