Description: Jesse Ramsden (1735-1800) was an English instrument maker whose honors included fellowship in the Royal Society of London, membership in the Imperial Academy of St. Petersburg, and appointment as optician to George III. This engraving is based on an oil portrait by Robert Home (1752-1834) that is now in the collections of the Royal Society. The signature at the bottom reads “I. RAMSDEN, / OPTICIAN TO HIS MAJESTY” and “Painted by R. Home” and “Engraved by John Jones” and “London, Pubd as the Act Directs Jany the 1st 1791 by Molteno Colnaghi & Co. Pall Mall.”
Ramsden appears in a comfortable chair. His right arm rests on the circular dividing engine that he built in the early 1770s in order to produce the graduated arcs for the sextants and octants that would enable British navigators to determine their positions at sea. In the background is the great astronomical circle of 1789 that Ramsden built for the observatory at Palermo, Sicily. Ramsden’s fur coat refers to the instruments commissioned by the Empress of Russia.
The Smithsonian acquired Ramsden’s dividing engine in 1890 through the auspices of Henry Morton, president of the Stevens Institute of Technology, and brought this Ramsden portrait in 1892.

This map shows the southern United States shortly after the Revolution. The “COLONEL SIMMES” area in Ohio refers to John Cleves Symmes, a lawyer from New Jersey and member of the Continental Congress who bought over 312,000 acres of land from the federal government in 1788. “DONATION LANDS from the COMMONWEALTH of VIRGINIA” refers to that section of Ohio that Virginia reserved as payment to veterans of the revolutionary war. “OHIO COMPANY” refers to other lands reserved for veterans of the war. “SEVEN RANGES” refers to the first tract in the Ohio area that was surveyed in what became known as the Public Land Survey. Areas in what is now Illinois are labeled “NEW JERSEY COMPANY,” “WABASH COMPANY” and “ARMY LANDS.” The Appalachian, Cumberland, Cherokee, and Tryon mountain ranges are shown, as is the “Ouaquaphenogaw Swamp” (now the Okefenokee) in Georgia. The lands of the Choctaws and the Chickasaws are shown to the east of the Mississippi, as well as the Indian settlement of Catabaw on the border between North and South Carolina.
John Russell (fl. 1733-1795) was a British engraver and draughtsman who worked for several cartographers. Henry Delahoy Symonds was a publisher in London. Russell and Symonds brought out a map of the middle states in 1794 and one of the northern states in 1795.

Description: This half-length engraved portrait of Jean LeRond d’Alembert (1717-1783) shows this French mathematician and philosophe sitting with quill pen in one hand and dividers in the other. Papers, books, and other drawing instruments are strewn across the desk in front of him, and more books, a rolled chart, and a globe sit on the cabinet behind.

I. de / toutes les Russies, et de l’Academie Imperiale des Beaux Arts de St. Petersbourg.”
This image was published in Paris in 1777, along with similar portraits of Montesquieu, Voltaire, and Diderot, the other principal authors of the <i>Encyclopédie</i>. The prints were commissioned by Charles-Joseph Panckoucke, the Paris bookman who was then producing a <i>Supplément</i> to the <i>Encyclopédie</i>. They sold for three francs each. Nicholas-René Jollain was an artist in Paris. Benoît-Louis Henriquez was an engraver in Paris.

Peter Woulfe (1727-1803) was an Irish chemist and mineralogist who in 1767 described a bottle suitable for distillation. By the end of the century it was widely known as Woulfe’s apparatus.
John Wilkes (1750-1810) was a London printer and bookseller whose 24-volume <i>Encyclopaedia Londoniensis</i> was published between about 1801 and 1828.

Pass Sculpt” and “London, Published as the Act directs, Feby 5, 1801. By J. Wilkes.” It was prepared for the fourth volume of the <i>Encyclopaedia Londinensis</i> (1810).
The mercurial gasometer shown here was developed by William H. Pepys Jr., an apparatus maker in London. It was used for collecting gases that could not be maintained over water. Eudiometers measure the extent to which nitrous gases can absorb oxygen. The form shown here was described in 1795 by the French chemist Guyton de Morveau.
John Wilkes (1750-1810) was a London printer and bookseller. He compiled the <i>Encyclopaedia Londoniensis</i> which was published in 24 volumes between 1810 and 1828.

Description: This engraving is marked “Plate IV” and “Van Marum’s Gasometer” and “Heny Lascelles delt” and “J. Pass Sculpt” and “London, Published as the Act directs, Feby 21, 1801 by J. Wilkes.” It was prepared for the fourth volume of the <i>Encyclopaedia Londinensis</i> (1810).
Martinus Van Marum was a Dutch chemist who, after having seen Lavoisier’s demonstrations of the composition of water in Paris in 1785, devised a user-friendly gasometer for measuring the amount of hydrogen and of oxygen produced by this operation.
John Wilkes (1750-1810) was a London printer and bookseller. His <i>Encyclopaedia Londoniensis</i> was published in 24 volumes between about 1801 and 1828.

Astronomy
Description: Johann Elert Bode (1747-1826) served as the director of the astronomical observatory of the Berlin Academy of Sciences, edited the <i>Astronomisches Jahrbuch</i>, and published several popular texts and atlases. This planisphere is derived from a chart in his <i>Anleitung zur Kenntniss des gestirnten Himmels</i> (Hamburg, 1768). It extends from the north equatorial pole to 38° South declination, and shows the stars of magnitudes 1 to 6. The brightest stars are identified by Bayer letters. Some stars are named.
The text at the top reads “STEREOGRAPHISCHER ENTWURF DES GESTIRNTEN HIMMELS / vom Nordpol bis zum 38sten Grad südlicher Abweichung von HERRN. I. BODE / New herausgegeben von HERRAN F. A. SCHRÆMBL”. The texts at bottom read “Gestochen von I. Alberti in Wien” and “Zu finden im eigenen Verlage in Wien. 1787.” Ignazio Albert was a painter and engraver in Vienna. Franz Anton Schraembl was a cartographic publisher in Vienna.

Glassbach” signature at bottom refers to Carl Christian Glasbach (b. 1751), an engraver in Berlin.
This is similar to the other Bode planisphere in the collections, but has several constellations that originated with Bode: Renthier within the bounds of Cepheus; Der Einseidler within the bounds of Die Waage; Messier within the bounds of Casseopeja; Friedrichs Ehre, Die Georgs Harfe within the bounds of Der Fluss Eridanus; Herschels Telescop, Mauer Quadrant, Die Katz within the bounds of Die Wasser Schlanger; Der Luft Ballon within the bounds of Der Steinbock; Die Logleine within the bounds of Der Compas; Die Electrisirmachine within the bounds of Die Bildhauer Werkstadt; and Buchdrucker Werkstadt within the bounds of Das Schiff des Argo.

Description: In 1702, living in London and serving as Master of the Mint, Isaac Newton sat for Godfrey Kneller, the most famous and probably the most expensive portrait painter in London. For this portrait he wore a red banyan and a flowing wig.
This is one of many engraved copies of that image. The text at the bottom reads “Sr ISAAC NEWTON” and “G. Kneller pinxt” and “Wm. Sharp sculpt” and “G. Kearsley, No 46 Fleet Street.” Newton here looks to his left (rather than to his right as in the Kneller portrait). A laurel branch appears at one side and an oil lamp at the other. Below are figures of a globe, a large lens, a refracting telescope, books, papers, geometrical diagrams, and a woman who probably represents Urania, the muse of astronomy.
William Sharp (1749-1824) was an engraver in London. George Kearsley (fl. 1758-1791) was a publisher of books and prints. He was also responsible for <i>The Copper Plate Magazine</i>, “a monthly treasure for admirers of the imitative arts.” Our engraving appeared in the 1778 edition of that work.
