Description
"Old Time Cuckoo Clock"
A photograph of a contemporary handmade and ornately carved wooden German cuckoo clock, altered to look aged and worn in a warm sepia tone. Though the clock is new, a very special birthday gift from my husband, the design of these analog, pendulum-regulated Black Forest clocks is traditional and hasn't changed much since their popularity grew in the middle of the 19th century (though the first cuckoo clocks were actually designed in the early 17th century), so luckily for me the clock convincingly works very well with the aged illusion.
