EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history, the Long Case Clock in St Erth, Cornwall, England. Crafted by renowned clockmaker Roger Wearn in 1785, this eight-day long case clock is a true testament to his skill and craftsmanship. The arched silvered dial immediately catches the eye with its intricate details. Two moon faces grace the dial, allowing for an accurate display of lunar phases. Additionally, a charming scene featuring two ships and a serene river scene with a church adds further beauty to this timepiece. What sets this clock apart is its unique functionality - it can be set to show not only the phases of the moon but also high water times in Hayle. This practical feature would have been invaluable for locals who relied on tidal information for their daily activities. Made predominantly from wood and metal with glass accents, this elegant timepiece exudes sophistication. The wooden casing boasts rich brown hues that perfectly complement the white and pink face of the clock. As we admire this photograph captured by MIke Searle at Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to the late 18th century when such clocks were treasured possessions showcasing both artistic prowess and technical ingenuity. It serves as a reminder of our enduring fascination with timekeeping devices throughout history.
