This antiquarian volume contains an interesting treatise on antique
clock dials, hands, and corner pieces from long case and lantern clocks,
with information on history, production, fashion, evolution, and much
more. Including a great number of original photographs and interesting
information on each piece, this is a text that will be of considerable
value for the clock enthusiast, and it is not to be missed by discerning
collectors of vintage literature of this ilk. The chapters of this text
include: Clock Dials; The Development of Clock Dials; Dials, Hands, and
Corner Pieces; Spandrel Ornaments; Clock Hands; Clockmaking, and Clock
Hands. Many older works such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by
and expensive, and it is with this in mind that this work is being
republished now, in an affordable modern edition complete with a new
introduction on the history of clocks and watches.
