Hi Dialists: Here is one of the most beautiful ceramic sundials I have come across. Special thanks to Spanish List Member, Conixta Bou Vilalta for supplying the information about it and to the photographer, Anne Guillamot for giving us permission to use it on our SGS website. See the original Flickr photo at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anneg/2081184856/sizes/l/ (Photo is also available in very high resolution) Dial 418 The Farmer and Fisherman Dial Delineator: unknown Ceramic Artist: unknown. We'd love to find out the name of this talented artist. Date: 1920 Original Location: Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Girona, Catalonia Spain Present Location: at original location Orientation: Vertical. Declines towards the southeast by unknown amount. Size: more than 8 meters (26 ft) wide, and different heights Adornment: This is a true work of art with a farmer and a fisherman and beautiful scrollwork designed to fit the shape of the building's ornate facade. Inscriptions: 'ANO 1920' Mottos: 'LO RITME VAN SEGVINT DE LES ESTRELLES' Condition: very good, but with a few small chips in a couple of tiles. Comment: I think this is one of the most beautiful ceramic dials in the world. Conxita Bou Vilalta in 2009 told us that it is extremely difficult to photograph because of the growth of trees nearby. Our compliments to Anne Guillamot the photographer. Flickr Website: Here Photo Origin: Photo 'a' is by Anne Guillamot (Hannah on Flickr) in 2007, and we copied it from the Flickr website.
