    Description
    Figures relating to the observation of Jupiter by John Flamsteed in a letter to Henry Oldenburg.

    Pasted in paper cut from the original letter (EL/F1/85) and stuck onto the page. Usually these paper cuts are pasted in so that the back of the paper can be read, but in this case it is entirely pasted on.

    A copy can be found at LBC/5/221.
