'Tribute Dew to Ben Nevis', 1883. Cartoon marking the opening of a meteorological observatory on the summit of Ben Nevis, Scotland. The observatory was built on a site provided by Mrs Cameron Campbell with money raised by public subscription, and was connected via telegraph with the Post Office at Fort William. The expense of running the observatory proved prohibitive however, and it closed in 1904. From Punch. (London, 27 October 1883).
