In the late 1800s, photo gear was not as automated as it is today.  This is a Ross-London No.6 (8-inch) Symmetrical lens from that period complete with Waterhouse stops labeled 1 through 5. The lens is fairly sharp by today's standards.  I have shot with it, though only on small format sensors.

Here is an image from the lens on my Olympus E-1.
