EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the intricate Chime Engine located in the clock room of St. Margaret's Church within the hallowed grounds of Westminster Abbey. The Chime Engine, an exquisite example of horological craftsmanship, is responsible for the musical chimes that echo through the historic abbey. The image, a meticulous copperplate engraving, was created by Wilson Lowry based on a drawing by John Farey Jr. for Abraham Rees' Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature, published in London by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme and Brown in 1808. The Chime Engine is a marvel of engineering, with its intricately designed hammers poised above a series of bells housed within a wooden box. The hammers, delicately balanced and precisely positioned, strike the bells in a specific sequence to produce the distinctive chime. The clock room, a hidden gem within St. Margaret's Church, is a testament to the rich history and tradition of horology. The room is filled with the rhythmic sounds of the Chime Engine, adding an enchanting musical element to the religious and historical significance of the space. This illustration provides a unique glimpse into the inner workings of a Chime Engine, offering a fascinating insight into the complex mechanisms that produce the melodic chimes that have been a part of St. Margaret's Church for centuries. The intricate details of the engraving highlight the skill and dedication of the craftsmen who created it, making it a valuable addition to any collection of historical illustrations or horology.
