With Leo Kaplan Ltd., New York, 1985 and 1986.

Note du spécialiste

As can be seen when comparing the present lot with lots 36 and 38 in this sale, many permutations exist of this model, variations occurring in the figures flanking the clock and the animal recumbent in the foreground. Cf. John and Griselda Lewis, Pratt Ware, 1984, pp. 91.
