Excellent image Jim. That lens has some interesting qualities that really work well with the scene. Good stuff.
 
Thanks for all the nice comments. Yes, that 1860 lens is a treasure!

Do you have pictures of that LBB & Co lens?

Hi Andrew. No. Picture a very non-descript brass barrel about an inch and a half wide and same long with a doublet at the back. It doesn't seem to have any provision for aperture although I'm sure at one time it must have. Earlier seems to be better with these lenses. This one is hand engraved and was sold with some other things like Holmes Booth Haydens etc.
