The timepiece’s numeric face is topped by a painted view of a church set between two lanes, complete with a headstone-filled church yard. A sole woman passes by. More country scenes provide a further backdrop at the four corners. In one set of opposite corners are two, two-story rounded towers. The other pair depicts family homes—the lower two set by water.
The original clock’s maker, A. & J. Kleiser, operated in late 19th-century York, in north England, from about 1866 to 1885. See less
