EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century illustration, taken from Abraham Rees' Cyclopedia or Universal Dictionary of Arts, Sciences and Literature, showcases the intriguing Marquis of Worcester's secret escutcheon for a lock, designed by Timothy Marshal. The escutcheon, adorned with the Marquis' coat of arms, is accompanied by self-acting candle extinguishers, a clever invention by John Isaac Hawkins. The illustration, created through a meticulous copperplate engraving by Wilson Lowry after a drawing by J. Farey Jr., offers a glimpse into the innovative designs and technological advancements of the time. The Marquis of Worcester's secret escutcheon was a unique addition to the lock mechanism, providing both an aesthetic and functional purpose. The keyhole and key are subtly integrated into the design, ensuring the security of the lock while maintaining the elegance of the Marquis' coat of arms. The self-acting candle extinguishers, a groundbreaking invention by Hawkins, were designed to automatically extinguish candles when they were no longer needed, thereby preventing potential fires. The intricacy and detail of this illustration are a testament to the artistic and technological prowess of the time. The use of copperplate engraving, a popular method for producing high-quality illustrations during the 19th century, further enhances the visual appeal of the image. Overall, this illustration offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and creativity of the minds that shaped the world around us.
