EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a Diptych sundial from the 19th century, closed and marked with six Chinese characters in red ink declaring 'Sun Moon Combo Dial'. The varnished wooden instrument, crafted by Fang Xiu-Shui, showcases intricate craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The sundial is a fascinating piece of history, reflecting the fusion of artistry and functionality in Asian culture. Its design speaks to the importance of tracking time based on the movements of the sun and moon, highlighting the precision and sophistication of ancient astronomical knowledge.
Displayed at the National Maritime Museum in London, this diptych sundial serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with celestial bodies and their influence on human life. It represents a bridge between past traditions and modern technology, offering a glimpse into how people navigated their world centuries ago.
As we gaze upon this exquisite artifact, we are transported back in time to an era when timekeeping was both an art form and a science. The delicate engravings and elegant curves of the wood material evoke a sense of wonderment at the ingenuity of our ancestors.
In capturing this image, Bridgeman Images has preserved not just a historical object but also a testament to human ingenuity and creativity. It invites us to ponder our place in the universe and appreciate the beauty that can be found in even the most utilitarian objects.
