Summary
"This beautifully illustrated volume...catalogues approximately one hundred of the very finest American clocks dating from the colonial period to the Early Republic, or from about 1720 through 1785. This was the era of brass dial clocks. An array of superb examples has been gathered through a comprehensive selection process. The result is a broad view of horology during the period as well as a visual record of some of the era's most resplendent objects." [from the publisher]
