Richard Reeve (fl. 1640 – 1680) was an instrument-maker in London in the 17th century. He worked with Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke. His son was also Richard Reeve (fl. 1680). Reeve's "telescopes and microscopes had a worldwide reputation for accuracy. Hooke worked with him in a technical advisory capacity".[1] Richard Reeve, or Reeves, of Long Acre, was the foremost fashioner of optical instruments between 1641 and 1679, and "perspective-glass maker to the King".[2] He was James Gregory's optician.[3] In August 1664 Pepys purchased a microscope from him, "the best he knows in England, and he makes the best in the world." 5 pounds 10 shillings is "a great price," but Reeve throws in a Scotoscope (camera obscura), "and a curious curiosity it is to [see] objects in a dark room with."[4] FamilyReeve's son, also an instrument maker{{citation needed|date=April 2013}} was known as Richard Reeve Jr (fl. 1680). The man referred to as "Young" Reeve in Pepys' entry of 23 March 1659/60, would be the older Richard's son John, who took over the family business in 1679 and ran it until about 1710.[5] The older Richard was arrested in 1664 for murdering his wife, but secured a royal pardon, probably at great cost.[6] References1. ^{{cite book | last=Jardine | first=Lisa|year=2000|title= Ingenious Pursuits: Building the Scientific Revolution|page=368| publisher=Abacus | isbn=978-0349113050}} {{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Reeve, Richard}}{{UK-bio-stub}}2. ^*A.
