H. Steward: J. H. Steward was one of the most important London scientific instrument makers and retailers of the 19th and early 20th century. James Henry Steward established his business in London in 1852. As a maker and retailer of optical, scientific, military and surveying instruments. J. H. Steward was the head optician of the company and had businesses at 406 Strand, 457 West Strand, 7 Gracechurch St, and 54 Cornhill in London. In the mid 1800s he became the optician to Her Majesty’s Government and the National Rifle, and National Artillery Associations. James Henry Steward died in 1896. J. H. Steward Ltd was incorporated in 1912 and continued in business in London until 1973. The main London office was sold in 1971, and from 1971-1973 the company rented premises in Catherine Street. All the remaining stock and long serving staff member George Goble (c.1916-1975) were moved to Catherine Street. Mr Goble was now the only member of staff, running the shop but mainly retained to provide a service to long-standing customers and to sell the remaining stock. The business finally moved to 154a Church Road, Hove, Sussex in 1973, before finally ceasing trading in 1975. Lt-Colonel William Willoughby Cole Verner (1852-1922) served on the staff in the Egyptian campaign of 1884-85 and during the Boer War. He retired as a Lt-Colonel in May 1904. The earliest Verner designs were simple pocket compasses, with the various models of the Service Pattern, MK III to MK VII, appearing between c.1891-1918. His prismatic service compasses were essentially a development of the Schmalcalder patent design of the early 19th century, but they remained the standard service compass of the British Army until the start of WW2. As well as designing compasses and other military instruments, Verner was a prolific author, military historian, and chronicler of the Rifle Brigade. Condition: In good condition.
