    Description

    Early Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Uncommon

    The second edition.

    In the publisher's original cloth binding.

    Illustrated with 76 pages of photographs of the collection of 222 clocks.

    David Arthur Wetherfield brought together perhaps the greatest private collection of English domestic clocks. After his death, the collection was sold, about half going to America (despite his wishes) and the remainder staying in the UK. It was particularly rich in longcase grandfather clocks, with a good selection of bracket and lantern clocks, all purely English designs.

    This is a catalogue of these clocks from the Wetherfield Collection, sold at auction by W. E. Hurcomb on 1st May, 1928 for £30,000. It has become a pictorial record for clock collectors wishing to date their own English clocks.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, sound, with rubbing to the extremities and spine causing small tears and a little loss to cloth. Light soiling to the cloth, heavier to the rear, with a damp stain. A little fading to spine. Internally, generally firmly bound. Pages are bright, with a tide mark to the lower page, heavier to the rear of the work. The odd additional handling mark to pages.
