RH says..... Having mentioned John Russell Hind in the previous post, I came across this photograph of him in my office, looking a little dour. He was an Assistant at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, from 1840 to 1844 and, after a period working at the private observatory of George Bishop, he became Superintendent of the Nautical Almanac Office from 1853 to 1891.
