Eclipsing Lectures And Auctions In May Weathered By Hasty Sales
A chaotic notice set describes astronomy lectures by Archibald Mitchell at Heston with preparations for observing the sun eclipse, followed by a flurry of sales. Items include cosmetics, furniture, paintings, and a library offered at auction in London streets and houses, with timings and venues across May. The text lists many sellers, locations, and prices, including public notices of viewing gears and specialized optics, plus warnings about eye safety during the eclipse.
