Dear Richard
Have you seen the picture called 'The Majestic' which shows a range of
dials.
The one I have seen is in a jigsaw arrangement as a picture hanging in a
local restaurant.
Best Wishes

Talking of art and sundials (OK, I know. Close though). Has anyone ever
attempted anything like the interesting polyhedral dial show in
Holbien's "The Ambassadors"? If you don't know the picture it's here:

can imagine it being an interesting school project - in stiff card - if
somebody provided a PDF file or similar to print out.I've had as close a
look as you can expect to get using a computer image file (not
forgetting the caveats about working from photographs) and it seems to
me that Holbien has produced a picture of something that would actually
work. What do you think?
