EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an extraordinary piece of history - an ancient clock built by the skilled hands of Henry De Wick in 1370. The image, taken from Abraham Rees' renowned publication "The Cyclopaedia Or Universal Dictionary Of Arts, Sciences And Literature" transports us back to London in the early 19th century. Intricate and meticulously crafted, this timepiece is a testament to De Wick's mastery as a clockmaker during the fourteenth century. Its elegant design and complex mechanism are beautifully captured in this illustration, revealing the ingenuity and artistry that went into its creation. As we gaze upon this antique marvel, we are reminded of how clocks have long been essential tools for measuring time. This particular clock stands as a symbol of universal measurement and serves as a reminder of our fascination with tracking the passage of hours and minutes throughout history. Ken Welsh's expert photography allows us to appreciate every detail within this drawing - from the delicate gears to the ornate engravings on its face. It invites us to delve into the world of horology, exploring not only how these remarkable instruments were made but also their significance in past societies. This print is more than just a visual representation; it is a gateway into another era where craftsmanship reigned supreme and time was measured with meticulous precision.
