Sun-Dials and Roses of Yesterday
Author(s): Alice Morse Earle
Written by historian and author Alice Morse Earle (1851-1911), this wonderfully eclectic treatise on the sundial is a reminder of how much possibility lays within the wilderness of the blank page. Each chapter begins with inhabited initials and each chapter’s contents encourage readers to consider verse from poets such as Rossetti and Dickinson, photographs of sundials and horologists, and sketches and diagrams that demonstrate no particular affinity for a given style, perspective, or even alignment on the page.
pp xxiii, 460. Complete with plates. Original decorated cloth. A fine copy.
