EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate mechanism of the Great Cloak, a crucial component of the iconic clock installed in the Palace of Westminster in London in 1857. Designed by the ingenious Edmund Beckett Denison, this mechanism was responsible for the chiming of Big Ben, the famous bell housed in the Elizabeth Tower. Denison, an accomplished engineer and horologist, had been tasked with creating a new clock for the Palace following the devastating fire of 1834. His innovative design featured a mechanism that not only kept accurate time but also produced the distinctive chimes that have become synonymous with the Houses of Parliament. The mechanism depicted in this print is a marvel of Victorian engineering. The central focus is the series of interconnected cogs and wheels that transfer the motion from the clock's mainspring to the clock face and the chiming mechanism. The intricate arrangement of gears, levers, and pendulums work in harmony to ensure the clock keeps perfect time and the bells chime on the quarter and full hours. The print offers a fascinating glimpse into the workings of this historic clock mechanism. It showcases the beauty and complexity of the engineering that lies behind the iconic chimes of Big Ben, a testament to Denison's brilliance and the technological advancements of the time.
