EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate design of a C17 Sand Glass, also known as Clepsammia, which was used in the 17th century to measure time by how long sand takes to filter from the upper bulb into the lower. The different apertures on this historical scientific instrument were designed to measure various periods of time with precision.
The glass construction of this Clepsammia is both elegant and functional, allowing for easy observation of the sand as it flows through the narrow passage between bulbs. Each grain of sand that passes through serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of time itself.
In a world where digital clocks and smart devices dominate our concept of timekeeping, it is fascinating to explore the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into creating such analog instruments centuries ago. This piece from Mary Evans Picture Library offers a glimpse into the history of measurement and science, reminding us that our modern methods are built upon foundations laid by those who came before us.
Whether displayed as a decorative piece or studied for its historical significance, this C17 Sand Glass print is sure to spark curiosity and admiration for the inventors and innovators who paved the way for our understanding of time.
