EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning copperplate engraving captures the intricate dial work of a small spring clock, showcasing the wonders of the moon, days of the week, months, and compass directions. Created in 1820 by Wilson Lowry after a drawing by J. Farey for Abraham Rees' Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature, this piece is a true masterpiece of scientific illustration.
The detailed engravings depict the phases of the moon, with its ethereal glow illuminating the intricacies of timekeeping. The days of the week are elegantly displayed alongside the months, creating a harmonious blend of celestial and earthly cycles.
The inclusion of a compass adds another layer to this already complex piece, symbolizing navigation and exploration. The precision and craftsmanship required to create such a clock mechanism is truly awe-inspiring.
As you gaze upon this print, you can't help but marvel at the ingenuity and artistry that went into its creation. It serves as a reminder of humanity's eternal quest to understand and harness the mysteries of time and space.
This engraving is not just a beautiful work of art; it is also a testament to our endless curiosity about the world around us.
