THE
ALCHEMIST’S
CLOCK
Alchemy, portrayed in remarkable detail
in the paintings and etchings of the Fisher
Museum, was a forerunner of modern
chemistry, metallurgy, pharmacology,
and medicine.
The Alchemist’s Clock bears 12
authentic symbols from the golden age of
alchemy, symbols, used by actual labora-
tory practitioners.
Clockwise, starting at 1 o’clock they
are: (1) Silver, (2) Air, (3) Laboratory, (4)
Fire, (5) Water, (6) Ammonium Chloride,
(7) Sulfuric Acid, (8) Earth, (9) Gold, (10)
Brandy - yes, Brandy, (11) Retort, (12) Iron.
The symbols selected are not only
historic mementos of science’s colorful
heritage, but intrinsically lovely designs in
their own right.
Enjoy!
