John Cooke's 'Geographical Clock', from his 'Universal Atlas' of 1802. Point the arrow on the inner disc at a location and get the time at 23 others, from which, as the text tells us, 'a spirit of enquiry may be wakened in the youthful breast' @bodleianlibs

A real pleasure. And so glad you found the kink in the wall shown on Loggan's 1675 map of #Oxford. @hist_towns @_BRICMICS @OrdnanceSurvey
This afternoon the StI (Lower 6th) Geographers @wychwoodschool were treated to a trip @bodleianlibs Map Rooms with @MilleaNick and his colleague @DebbietheduckH . We looked at the history of Oxford through maps. We even found the conk in the wall on the way home.

It's the U.S. election, and here's a reminder of how it all started. On the cover of 'Washington D.C and vicinity' George Washington and the Founding Fathers lay the foundations in 1793 for the Capitol building, which rises, ghost-like, behind them @bodleianlibs @AmericanMaps
