Design for a Clock with Female Terms at the Corners, from Nouveaux Liure de Boites de Pendulles de Coqs et Etuys de Montres et Autres Necessaire au Orlogeurs
Design for a clock in the shape of a rectangular urn. Above the clockface, a mask with garland hung below, which drapes over the term figures at each corner. Around the central design, two clockfaces and two watch-faces. From a series of six plates with clock designs, copies after Daniel Marot's "Nouveaux Livre de Boïtes de Pendulles." This edition lacks the inscriptions included in the original. The plates are printed in red ink and may have been published by Henry II Bonnart in Paris.
