Lithograph. Black and white sketch of the Astronomer Royal, Sir George Biddell Airy. He is depicted from the waist up, wearing a jacket, waistcoat, shirt and bow tie and holding a monacle. It is in a window mount and oak frame (measuring 510 x 383 mm). The title is inscribed on the frame, but must be of a later date since Airy did not receive his knighthood until 1872.
