EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a Universal sundial for latitude 0-90 degrees, adorned with majestic crowned eagles. Crafted from copper around 1635 by the skilled hands of Elias Allen, this intricate piece is now housed at the National Maritime Museum in London, UK.
The sundial not only serves as a practical tool for measuring time and navigating the seas but also stands as a work of art in its own right. The detailed engravings of crowned eagles add an element of regal beauty to this functional object.
In the 17th century, when this sundial was created, such instruments were essential for sailors and explorers charting unknown waters. The combination of artistry and functionality in this piece speaks to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the era.
As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to an age when precision instruments like this sundial were crucial for understanding our place in the world. The intricate details of feathers and plumage on the eagles remind us of both the natural world and human creativity coming together in harmony.
This print is not just a representation of history; it is a testament to human innovation and artistic expression that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
