EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate craftsmanship of four different remontoire escapement systems created by renowned clock makers De Lafon, Massey, Mendham, and Prior. The image is sourced from "The Cyclopaedia Or Universal Dictionary Of Arts, Sciences And Literature" by Abraham Rees, a prominent publication in London during 1820. In this fascinating piece of historical documentation, we are transported back to the 19th century when clock making was considered an art form. The diagram-like illustration beautifully captures the complexity and precision involved in creating these timepieces. Each clock maker's unique system is meticulously depicted with meticulous attention to detail. From gears and springs to levers and weights, every component plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate timekeeping. This visual representation serves as a testament to their mastery of horology - the science of measuring time. As we admire this antique masterpiece, it reminds us of the universal importance placed on measuring time throughout history. Clocks have always been more than mere instruments; they represent our constant pursuit for order and efficiency. Ken Welsh's skillful photography brings out the fine details of these mechanisms while preserving their vintage charm. This print serves as both a tribute to the ingenuity of these clock makers and a reminder that even in today's digital age, there is still beauty in analog technology.
