Description: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option. Thank you. Print Specifics: Type of print: Steel engraving (Intaglio) - Original French antique printYear of printing: not indicated in the print - actual 1850 Publisher: Jules Gailhabaud.

Still standing, it is an octagonal marble structure, 42 feet high and 26 feet in diameter. The building's eight sides, which face points of the compass, are decorated with a frieze of figures in relief representing the winds; below it, on the sides facing the sun, are the lines of a sundial. The Horologium was surmounted by a weathervane in the form of a bronze Triton and contained a water clock (clepsydra) to record the time when the sun was not shining.
