Generously illustrated by 49 photographs and 25 line drawings, this book is both a fascinating account of English horological achievements and, for collectors, a reliable guide and mentor at a time when antique clocks are showing a startling increase in value, affecting not only the famous makers and their notable works but even the humblest sorts of clocks, including many which were once vurtually unsaleable. Hardcover, printed in 1973, 313 pages.
