The beautiful collar mural in the interior dome of the Library's Thomas Jefferson Building is the inspiration for this item. The graceful mural delights tourists and readers who visit the Library's splendid Main Reading Room. With this clock on your wall, a reminder of the building's American Renaissance design is yours each day as you view the time. Edwin Howland Blashfield's painting of twelve seated figures symbolizes the countries and epoch thought to have contributed most to American civilization when the Jefferson Building opened in 1897. In the dome of the central cupola, Human Understanding, accompanied by two cherubs, emerges from behind her vail and guides the way toward knowledge.
