RE: Nun Appleton Dial Mystery

2008-06-19 Thread John Carmichael 
I just had a thought.

 

Couldn't we tell if the black & white photo is reversed if we could see how
the garden of the Nun Appleton looks today?  If any of those trees that we
see in the black and white photo are still alive, then we could tell if the
photo is reversed.

 

The left and right doors are identical, so if the photo is reversed, we
can't tell by looking at the doors.  But the garden is not quite
symmetrical. The bushes on either side of the walkway are symmetrical, but
the tress in the garden are not.

 

Just a thought..

 

John

 

p.s. Do they allow people to visit that vestibule area?

Hi All (esp. John Davis, Mike Cowhan & David Brown):

 

I just noticed something odd about the very famous stained glass sundial
that is known as "The Nun Appleton Dial".  I don't know why I never saw this
before.  It slipped by right me. 

 

Take a look at this graphic of two photographs:

 

http://www.advanceassociates.com/Sundials/Stained_Glass/sundials_files/Stain
ed_Glass_Sundial_6.jpg 

 

On the left is a close-up color photo of the dial.  This photo, as with most
of our SGS photos, presumably shows the dial as it would have looked from
inside the building.  The inscriptions and numerals all look corrected and
were made to be read from the inside of the building.   On the right is old
black & white interior photo showing the dial as it was mounted in the
transom above the door.  But look at the dial.  It is backwards!

 

Why is this?

 

I'm thinking that it was incorrectly mounted in the transom.  It was mounted
in reverse.  But it just might be possible that it was mounted correctly and
that the old black and white photo is reversed!  I copied that photo from a
captured freeze frame still shot from an article by Hans Behrendt called
"Alte Englischen Fenstersonnenhren (II)" 1990.  Could it be possible that
the printers that Hans used might have accidentally reversed the photograph?

 

Which leads me to ask if any of you ever saw this dial in its original
location above the door at Nun Appleton Hall, York, England.  If we could
only find another photograph or testimony from somebody who saw it.  It no
longer is there and I don't know when it was removed.  It now resides in
lightbox for display at entrance to York Art Gallery.  

 

Can anybody help me solve this mystery?

 

Thx

I think the b/w photo has to be reversed.

Here is the photo reversed in Photoshop -
http://www.rosscaldwell.com/images/astronomy/sgsundialrev.jpg

The inscription reads correctly from the inside now. Secondly, the colour photo 
should have been taken from inside, since there is a major light source behind 
it. Therefore the inscription should be read from the inside, just as the time 
on the dial is. So the older photo has been accidentally reversed.

Hi John,
I think the photo has been reversed.
An aerial photograph on www.multimap.com shows only one tall tree near the 
path. It is on the east of the path, not the west. I believe the house now 
belongs to English Heritage.

Hi John,
   
  It's quite common for old (and even not-so-old) photos to be inadvertently 
printed in reverse. There was an example quite recently of a dial on a glass 
lantern slide printed in reverse in the BSS Bulletin. And there is a modern 
dialling book with a famous painting reversed...
   
  On the other hand, looking at a stained glass dial from the outside, even 
when held up to the light, produces quite a different view to the proper inside 
appearance, mainly due to the painting.  
   
  So, for this case, I suggest that it it the picture that's reversed, not the 
dial.
   
  Regards,
   
  John

Hi Mike et al
Curiously, some of the Roman numerals can be read correctly from both sides - 
I, II, III, , V, X, but the inscription can't. I believe TOYOTA chose their 
name as it can be read in a mirror if written vertically. Scott Kim's ambigrams 
prove that it is possible to make an inscription readable after 180 degree 
rotation or mirror imaging. I'm not sure you can see a stained glass design 
from outside, though - doesn't it all look grey? My local church windows do.

Last time I was in York (August 2007) it was no longer on display where I had 
previously (at the BSS York conference) seen it in the vestibule, which had 
been re-arranged, but had as I understood been taken into store. A pity - 
though I think it can still be seen on application in advance to the gallery.
