COMPARATIVE LITERATURE:
D. Roberts, British Skeleton Clocks, Woodbridge, 1987, pp. 149-151, figs.a, b; F.B. Royer-Collard, Skeleton Clocks, London, 1969, p. 29, fig. 2-15, 16. Evans is thought to have introduced his detented escapement c.1860. The majority of these clocks were timepieces with shield-shaped chapters, as with the present example.
