content: Small compound monocular microscope with square stage, sub-stage mirror, horseshoe base, and wooden box with extra lenses. The “C. VERICK / PARIS” inscription refers to Constant Verick, a microscope maker who described himself as a “special student” of Edmund Hartnack after Hartnack moved from Paris to Potsdam in 1870. Verick’s son-in-law, Maurice Stiassnie, took charge of Verick’s shop in 1882, and changed the name a few years later. The serial number “3227” appears in the small box holding extra objectives.
