The Old English Master Clockmakers and Their Clocks - 1679-1820
Cescinsky, Herbert
Description
This fascinating work on 'English Clocks and Clockmakers' is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on any horologists bookshelf. Illustrated throughout, with copious text as well as drawings, it makes for a fascinating, as well as a useful read. It includes discussions of: Time and Timekeepers; Time and the Pendulum; Trains and Escapements; The Clockmakers' Company; Brass Lantern Clocks; Clock Dials; The Development of Grandfather Clock Cases; Renowned Clock Makers; A Glossary of Terms used in Clock Making... and much, much more besides! Many old works such as this are increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that this book is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the subject.
