Scope and content
This was a large brass dial with head and foliage spandrels; mechanism had been altered. Moon faces and ship and scene proved to be printed on paper, stuck on with rubber cement then varnished over with brown varnish and highlights on moon faces added. A lot of the original painting was pulled off removing paper, but enough was left to restore this rathe crude moon dial.
