EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Memento Mori Timepiece, a chromolitho artwork created by an unknown English School artist in the 19th century. The timepiece is part of a private collection and holds great historical significance. According to legend, it was gifted by Mary Queen of Scots to Mary Seton, adding an air of intrigue and royal allure. The Memento Mori Timepiece serves as a poignant reminder of mortality, with its intricate design symbolizing the fleeting nature of time. This exquisite relic from the Stuart dynasty is beautifully captured in this image, allowing us to appreciate its fine craftsmanship and historical importance. Drawing inspiration from relics associated with the Stuarts, William Gibb meticulously illustrated this piece for his book "The Royal House of Stuart" published in London in 1890. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a time when royalty reigned supreme and dynasties shaped history. As we gaze upon this remarkable clockwork masterpiece, we cannot help but be reminded that even those who held power and influence were not exempt from the passage of time. It serves as a humbling reminder that life is transient and should be cherished. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in capturing fine art prints like these, we can now admire this extraordinary memento mori timepiece up close and delve into its rich historical context without leaving our homes.
