Mai 1766 in Jonaswalde im Herzogtum Sachsen-Altenburg; 2. September 1825 in Leipzig) war ein deutscher Instrumentenhändler und Optiker. Gottfried Tauber war der Sohn des Gutsbesitzers Michael Tauber (* 1709) und dessen Ehefrau Maria (geb. Sachsenröder). Er war verheiratet. Gottfried Tauber kam nach dem gewöhnlichen Schulbesuch 1781, im Alter von 15 Jahren, auf das Gymnasium (heute: Friedrichgymnasium) in Altenburg, dort waren seine Lehrer Samuel Benjamin Reichel, Christian Friedrich Borner ( 1814), Christian Heinrich Lorenz (17451800) und Johann Friedrich August Döhler ( 1812). Er fand im Kammerpräsidenten Hans Wilhelm von Thümmel einen Wohltäter, auf dessen Empfehlung er vom Herzog Ernst II. von Sachsen-Gotha-Altenburg ein Stipendium erhielt, sodass er sich 1792 an der Universität Leipzig zu einem naturwissenschaftlichen Studium immatrikulieren konnte. An der Universität besuchte er unter anderem die Vorlesungen von Carl Friedrich Hindenburg, der ihn auch zu seinem Amanuensis machte, sowie die Philosophievorlesungen bei Karl Adolph Caesar, Karl Heinrich Heydenreich und Ernst Platner, Naturgeschichte und Mineralogie bei Christian Friedrich Ludwig, Botanik bei Johann Hedwig und Chemie bei Christian Gotthold Eschenbach. 1798 erhielt er von der Philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Leipzig das Magisterdiplom. 1800 wurde Gottfried Tauber durch den Magistrat der Stadt Leipzig als Lehrer der Mathematik an der Thomasschule angestellt, die bis dahin noch keinen Mathematiklehrer hatte; im gleich Jahr gründete er das Optisch-Oculistische Institut, in dem er ein physikalisches Magazin aufbaute, das aus allen Arten mathematischer, physikalischer, astronomischer, optischer [] Instrumente bestand, die unter seiner Aufsicht gebaut wurden. 1808 gab er das Lehramt wieder auf, um seinen Lebensunterhalt mit dem Handel von verschiedenen Produkten in seinem Institut zu verdienen, indem er dort unter anderem auch Brillengläser herstellte. Nach seinem Tagebuch konnte er in der Zeit von 1811 bis 1818, . 2130 Personen, deren Augen ich früher untersucht und sie mit Gläsern bedient hatte, konnte ich wegen merklicher Besserung ihrer Sehkraft wieder schwächer wirkende Gläser in ihre Lorgnetten und Brillen einsetzen und unter diesen befanden sich 460, welche bei Tage wieder gänzlich ohne Hülfe lesen konnten. Von 160 Personen, in deren künstliche Sehwerkzeuge ich, wegen Zunahme des Gesichts, einigemal schwächer wirkende Gläser eingesetzt hatte, erfuhr, daß sie dieser Hülfe nicht mehr bedurften; 64 Leidende, deren Augen so sehr vernächlässigt und verdorben waren, daß sie durch gar kein Glas mehr lesen konnten, lernten durch meine Behandlung, mit Hülfe meiner Gläser, vollkommen wieder lesen und 82 Personen, welche durch den Gebrauch nicht passender und schlechter Gläser, durch zu stark blendendes oder zu schwaches Licht, durch Anwendung solcher Staubbrillen, welche die wohltätige Einwirkung der Luft, so wie die regelmäßige Ausdünstung störten, durch fehlerhafte Diät und durch andere Veranlassung entzüdete, doppelgesichtige, schielende Augen und ein mattes Gesicht bekommen hatten, erhielten ihr reguläres Gesicht wieder. Er beschäftigte sich mit weiteren Verbesserungen und Neuerungen und so erfand er unter anderem eine neue Art von Studier- und Arbeitslampen, dazu Buchdrucker- und Setzerlampen, ein tragbares Barometer, eine Tätowierpresse, mit der Schafe an den Ohren dauerhaft und ohne Schmerzen gekennzeichnet werden konnten und ein Mikroskop, um die Güte und Feinheit.…

8 x 8 cm. mostly b/w (some hand coloured). glass slides (condition varies, all which bear Charles Potter labels, as well as personalized numbers). While the photographer of these images remains anonymous, their manufacturer, Charles Potter stands as an important name in Toronto's early commercial history. The collection here contains mostly European scenic views but there are several portraits (individual and group), as well as a few fine art slides. Potter himself ran one of Ontario's most successful optic companies during the latter nineteenth century. By the 1880's "Potter's small instrument shop had by now become a big national concern" having increasingly made a name for himself in the world of academia making instruments and tools for local institutions (Smith, Julian A., "Potter, Charles Optician and Instrument Maker," Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, vol. 87, no. 1, pp. 26-27). His business continued well beyond his death in 1899. There are numerous records from local directories produced in the 1930's advertising the firm's Magic Lantern slides and projectors for academic, commercial and religious purposes. (Smith, Julian A., "Potter, Charles" p. 29).From the seventeenth to the early twentieth century Magic Lanterns served as an extremely popular portable image projector device throughout Europe, Asia and the New World. The medium was used as an aid for academics, tourism, settlement strategies or theatrical entertainment (Robinson, David. The Lantern Image, pp. 9-11). Magic Lantern slide lectures became common in Canada after 1890 when they were first used as tools in the federal immigration strategy (Scheinberg, Ellen; Rombout, Melissa K. "Projecting Images of the Nation" The Archivist No. 111).…

Condición: Very good. Artistic composition of six antique glass prosthetic eyes, embedded in their original cotton and mailing box (ca. 153 x 65 mm), surrounded by pale blue dried flowers and stems, the entire composition accomplished by means of a Zoom Box which has subsequently been framed with reddish gold painted wood (283 x 235 x 58 mm). A WORDLESS ARTISTIC POEM WROUGHT FROM THE BYPRODUCTS OF COMMERCIAL OPTOMETRY AND DISCARDED FLOWERS. BLURRING THE BOUNDARIES BETWEEN ART AND VISION, SEEING AND NOT-SEEING, THE PAST AND THE PRESENT, THIS ASTONISHING ASSEMBLAGE DEFIES OUR ABILITY TO DESCRIBE IT. With its six antique prosthetic glass eyes, our shadow box quietly references the art and science of provincial English optometry: here disparate relics are carefully arranged and preserved behind "glass," thereby allowing the past to become vividly present to modern eyes. The optician was the well known firm of G.D. Caffin, Liverpool. The recipient of the box of glass eyes was Mr. Arthur Lomas (1896-1976), of Helsby (Cheshire), formerly of Sutton Hall Farm, Sutton Weaver. The stamps appear to have been postmarked 9 Aug. 1940. Certainly the 1p postage-revenue stamp is the 1940 Royal Mail Centenary Stamp ("Victoria / George / 1840 [1p] 1940"). In the 1939 England and Wales Register, the occupation of Arthur Lomas at 77 Chester Road is given as "Lead press maker at B[ritish] I[nsulated] Cables; heavy work." That house was razed and is now the site of a Tesco parking lot. The artist, Siobhan Duffy, lives and works in upstate New York. MUST BE SEEN TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED.…

8 x 8 cm. mostly b/w (some hand coloured). glass slides (condition varies, all of which have personalized numbers). This collection is comprised of European subject matter. Of the fifty slides, fourteen bear labels of the New York McAllister firm and are made up of scenic views. Seventeen more are also labeled "T.H. McAllister Manufacturing Optician, N.Y.," in addition to the series label "London Lecture. The remainder are attributed to McAllister's firm due to the small triangular trademark. Of these, one is labeled "Tower of London Lecture," five as "Trip to Paris," three as "Paris," five as "New Geography & History Series," with six additional miscellaneous unlabeled slides. Most slides have subject labels at their edge, though many have been chipped & worn.From the seventeenth to the early twentieth century Magic Lanterns served as an extremely popular portable image projector device throughout Europe, Asia and the New World.
