[edit] telescope image

I have a wonderful old telescope made by Negretti and Zambra, in almost mint condition. I will photograph it and add it to the page when I get a chance. Also, does anyone have an original copy of the book "A Treatise on Meteorological Instruments"? If it is now public domain (if it is 70 years after the authors death?), then maybe some scans of it would be good for this page? --Tomhannen 23:49, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WPJapan

Squilibob removed the WPJapan template, providing this edit summary: Not really relevant to Japan from what I can see). But because Negretti and Zambra commissioned the first published photographs of Japan, I beg to differ; the article is certainly relevant to the WikiProject. At the moment, the article is unbalanced, focussing on the firm's optical instrument-making practice, but in time the firm's significance as a photographic studio, including their importance for publishing rare photographic images of Japan before Meiji, will be fleshed out...
