EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated 1941, showcases a beautifully crafted sundial appliance, a Tempus Fugit, situated in a tranquil home setting. The circular appliance, adorned with intricately designed flanged edges and graduated numbering, sits proudly on a tabletop, casting a long shadow as the sun creeps across the room. The sun's position on the gnomon, the vertical spike at the center of the dial, indicates the passing of the hours and minutes, adding a sense of nostalgia and connection to the natural world. The Tempus Fugit, meaning 'time flies' in Latin, is a classic decorative piece that once was a staple in many households. It serves as a reminder of the importance of cherishing each day and the fleeting nature of time. The appliance's timeless design, with its numbered plate and circular shape, adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any interior. This photograph, with its warm lighting and thoughtful composition, invites us to reflect on the simplicity and charm of a bygone era. It transports us to a time when the measurement of time was not just a means to keep track of daily tasks, but a decorative and nostalgic piece that added character and style to our homes.
