Time telling through the ages
A popular history of clocks, watches and timekeeping written by Harry Chase Brearley and published in 1919 by Doubleday, Page for the American watch firm Robert H. Ingersoll & Bro., aimed at general readers and the company's customers. Halftone plates show ornate pocket watches, pendants and cross-shaped cases laid out on dark grounds, alongside soft-toned genre scenes of clockmakers and merchants at work.
