Provenance
Evans bought it from Percy Webster, his
main London dealer, in 1911. Although Hispano-Moorish in
style, and equipped with plates covering a wide range of
latitudes from 25° to 60° (in five-degree steps), the
existence of specific plates for 48° and 52° suggest it was
originally made for someone based in Paris and/or London.
