A few days ago, I was looking up some histories about Ross petzval lenses.
I found the old catalogue of Andrew Ross period I've never seen in past, so I share it with you here.
The Photographic Primer for the Use of Beginners in the Collodion Process, Etc
By Joseph CUNDALL, 1854
https://www.google.co.jp/books/edition/The_Photographic_Primer_for_the_Use_of_B/agxeAAAAcAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=0
(BTW, Google book and the recent advancement of OCR is so amazing!)
I summarized for myself the catalogue transitions about Ross petzvals.
Point me if anything is wrong...
228248
I also want to note Andrew Plume's for sale past post in 2013.
This lens shows the numbering changed during A.Ross period about No.5 and above, probably before his death in 1858.
