Carl Zeiss 1856 autograph letter signed. Zeiss founded the famed optical ''Carl Zeiss AG'' lens, the novel lenses that had a wider aperture range allowing for brighter light and wider views. Eventually, his lenses made their way around the world and particularly, into the business of camera lenses. Signed boldly, ''Carl Zeiss'', document is written in 19th century German script. Document presumably relates to the lens, as they became prevalent in the 1840's, and seems to itemize various financials listing items and amounts. Card-style letter on two pages, front and verso, is addressed to a Masso Manno in Pesth. Someone has itemized a list, possibly related to the letter, in pencil on page three. Measures 8.5'' x 10.5''. Small chip, overall very good.
