Clock

Lawrence Phillips

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing of a clock design labeled "Acorn Clock, Early 17th Century." The drawing provides a detailed outline of a clock with dimensions and its various views. The top left shows a top plan view, indicating the shape and size of the clock, while the bottom left displays the front elevation with its ornamental contours. There is a side elevation on the right that exhibits the clock's depth and structure. An inscription on the front view reads, "Bristol Mould. Co. Bristol, U. S. A." This drawing appears to be a technical sketch with an orderly presentation of measurements, evident from the inclusion of scales and precise lines, suggesting a blueprint for manufacturing or educational purposes.
