Benson, James W. "TIME AND TIME-KEEPERS"

London; Robert Hardwicke: 1875.

A short history of the development of clocks and watches, and survey of
interesting antique and modern (Victorian) examples, by a noted
clockmaker. James W. Benson had a well-known shop on Ludgate Hill in
London where he made “high class” clocks and watches, and was the subject
of Bundock & McLay’s 2002 book “James W. Benson of Ludgate Hill, Turret
Clock Makers”.

Hardcover. 5.25”x7.75”, vii + 189, line illustrations. Publisher’s blue
cloth with gilt cover vignette of a man checking his watch at a sun-dial,
which is also illustrated on the title page. Covers worn and somewhat
soiled, spine head and base heavily chipped, spine cloth torn; hinges a
bit wobbly, some internal soil, etc. A less than superlative copy. [09704]
$150.00
