    Old street in the ancient Jewish Ghetto (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Ghetto) close the "Portico d'Ottavia" SUGHERARI are in Italians the Cork Workers, SUGHERO means Cork. So this was the street of the Cork Workers inside Roman Ghetto. Many Rome street's name has origin from the old workers, like "Via dei Coronari", "Via dei Cappelari", "Via dei Baullari" and many others

    Looks like this instrument is based upon Lord Kelvin's work and patents. At the Persistent URL the National Galleries of Scotland has this note : "He was also the partner of a Glasgow firm that made measuring instruments from his own patents" And here is some of his published work on such instruments: zapatopi.net/kelvin/papers/terrestrial_magnetism_and_the_... .

    What a fabulous find.
    Please not EVERY man in this shot is wearing a waistcoat.
    The horizontal striped stockings are a bit much for my taste but then I never was one to follow the fashion of the moment.
