Biography:
John Fromanteel (1638-c. 1690) was the son of the famous London clockmaker Ahasuerus Fromantee sr. After an apprenticeship with his father in 1651, Fromanteel worked for Salomon Coster. In 1659, later Fromanteel went back to London where he and his father made the first pendulum clocks in England. Fromanteel became a freeman in 1663 and after that took four apprentices, one of them being his son Ahasuerus (the third) in 1679. In 1681 John returned to the Netherlands and settled with his brother Ahasuerus jr. as a clockmaker on the Vijgendam in Amsterdam. John seemed to have travelled back frequently to London.

Biography:
Gerrit Stevens Cramer (d. Groningen, 1755) was a Groningen optical instrument maker. In 1729 he started a workshop in the Steentilstraat. In 1731, together with his relative J. Doornbusch, he made a large sundial that - to this day - can be seen above the entrance gate of the Prinsenhof in Groningen. Together with the Frisian reflecting telescope makers Wytze Foppes and Jan van der Bildt, he was an engineer ('vernuftelingen'), who in the early 1740s received support from Stadholder William IV. After Cramer's death, his optical workshop was continued by his nephew Jan Derks Cremer (c. 1706-1780).

For his obituary, see the Opregte Groninger Courant, 15 August 1755. In December 1781, Cramer's glass grinding equipment, which had been used until then by Cramer's nephew Jan Derks Cremer, was put up for sale. In 1791, this set was bought by the Groningen apothecary Boudewijn Tieboel for the optician Willem Trapman.

Collections: Louwman Collection of Historic Telescopes (refracting telescope with copper tubes), Museum Boerhaave Leiden (a reflecting telescope made by Cramer in cooperation with Jan van der Bildt, several microscopes).
