A fabulous brass reproduction Sundial presented in a wooden box with engraving plate. Inspired by a design from the 18th century instrument maker Peter Dollond, the original is in the London Science Museum. Instruments like this were once used by explorers and navigators to tell the time anywhere in the world. The gnomon, which casts the shadow, would be set for latitude on a sliding scale and the whole instrument oriented by means of a magnetic compass in the base.
