Dear Dialling Colleagues,
A non-member of the List has asked me to forward this question:
"I have a picture of an 18th century print of a plaster and lathe arch which was constructed to celebrate an election victory on Worcester [UK], replete with symbolism and classical references. On one side of the pediment is a statue of a female figure leaning against a pedestal with a sundial on top. The statue is paired with one of Liberty (blindfolded and with scales of justice) on the other side. I wonder if the sundial statue might be of Clio. Do any of your sundial collegues know of similar classical statues with sundials, who the figure might be, or what is symbolised?"
I have a small (9kbyte) jpg of the print which I can forward to those interested (though the sundial is only just visible.
Regards,
John
