Description
A large brass pantograph by William II Elliott, signed “Wm Elliott 227 High Holborn London”, circa 1830-833.
William II Elliott was active between 1804 and 1849 but was only at 227 High Holborn for a few years between 1830 and 1833.
A pantograph is a drawing instrument used to reproduce a pattern to an exact scale, enlarged or reduced.
This model is absolutely complete with all its parts, accessories and especially its 6 wheels. A handwritten note, apparently autographed by Elliott, inside the lid explains how to use the instrument.
The pantograph is kept in its case measuring 79x15x10 cm.
