NO. 6276/15, the rear is annotated with 26 sectors describing a weather forecast beside a letter of the alphabet, in original card box with instructions titled WEATHER FORECASTER, (2).The panel 32.5cm (12.75ins) high, 18.5cm (7.25ins) wide; the pocket forecaster 5.5cm (2.25ins) diameter. The design of the first item in the present lot was almost certainly devised by Miss E.W. Pilkington who was the Borough Meteorologist for the area around Buxton 1923-62, and appears to be based on the principals first incorporated by Negretti and Zambra into their 'weather forecaster' patented in 1915, an example of which is also included in the lot. Negretti and Zambra's design used actual weather conditions over a ten-year period and was said to be 80% accurate by the Manufacturers. By setting the wind direction and barometer reading on the outer two scales, the weather can be forecast by reading the letter that appears within the appropriate sector in the centre of the dial taking into account whether the pressure has been rising, falling or remaining steady and the season (summer or winter).

George Smith, British 1829-1901- Study for 'A Game of Speculation'; oil on panel, signed and dated 'G. Smith / 1869' (lower right), titled 'A Game of Speculation' verso, 19.3 x 28.8 cm. Provenance: with Mandell's Gallery, Norwich. Private Collection, UK. Note: The present work is a study for Smith's larger, finished composition 'A Game of Speculation', which appeared at Dreweatts on 18 October 2023, lot 190. This final painting was almost certainly that exhibited at London's Royal Academy in 1869 (no.54) under the same title. The scene depicts figures crowded around a table, playing the card game 'Speculation' which was particularly popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, and which features in the writing of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens, among others. The heavily-populated composition of the present scene imparts the work with a palpable sense of dynamism, evoking the excitement of the game. Smith worked in the studio of Charles West Cope (1811-1890), who clearly had a strong influence on his pupil's approach. Like Cope, Smith was especially prolific as a painter of genre scenes, exhibiting 79 paintings at the Royal Academy between 1848 and 1887. The composition and style of Smith's interior scenes also very much recall that of the Scottish painter David Wilkie (1785-1841).
