Note
Cover title. Edition of 19. "A gnomon is the object on a sundial that casts the shadow and thereby marks the hour. In Greek, it means 'interpreter' or 'one who discerns.' The text comes from Margaret Scott Gatty's The Book of Sun-Dials, a thorough compendium of mottoes found on sundials located throughout Europe and the United Kingdom and published in London by Chiswick Press in 1872. The images of urban gnomons were collected in Nevada in 2008"--Colophon
