A fine clean copy of "English Country Grandfather Clocks ~ The Brass Dial Longcase", by Richard C.R. Barder, published by Bracken Books of London in 1983. Concentrating his researches on provincial Clockmakers, the author, in this detailed and beautifully illustrated book, covers the work of some eighty Makers in twenty eight counties, from their hesitant beginnings around 1660 until 1830, when they were largely eclipsed by the factory made painted-dial clock. Hard covers, 223 pages, original dust jacket.
