作品詳細説明

Tall case clocks were popular in America throughout the 18th century until about 1850. This clock was made by Samuel Hill who learned his trade in London, emigrated from England, and set up shop in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, by 1785. An unusual feature of this clock is its nine-foot height. The hand painted face has brass works with a seconds dial above and a crescent-shaped calendar aperture below. As is typical of these clocks, the hours are given in roman numerals, with the number four displayed with four single strokes, and the minutes appear in Arabic figures. The clock is fitted with a moon wheel, which displays the phases of the moon via a metal disk upon which are painted the various stages in duplicate, so that it took two months for a complete revolution. Painted floral motifs on the spandrels, two globes above the face, and delicate borders of inlay in several places on the case complete the decoration.

Samuel Hill (1857–1931): The Visionary Sculptor Behind Stonehenge

Samuel Hill stands as a singular figure in the annals of American art and engineering, remembered primarily for his monumental undertaking – the reconstruction of Stonehenge on Maryhill Plateau near Portland, Oregon. Yet, beyond this iconic achievement lies a lifetime dedicated to shaping landscapes and fostering civic engagement, leaving an indelible mark on the Pacific Northwest’s cultural landscape.

Born in Deep River, North Carolina, in 1857, Hill descended from Quaker stock—his father was a physician committed to abolitionism. The family relocated to Minneapolis shortly after the Civil War, where Hill received his formative education at Haverford College and Harvard University. These institutions instilled in him a rigorous intellectual curiosity that would permeate his subsequent endeavors.

Hill’s legal career began in Minneapolis, establishing him as a formidable advocate for justice. Notably, he successfully defended James J. Hill’s railroads against numerous lawsuits—a testament to his analytical skills and unwavering determination. This association with Hill cemented his position within the burgeoning railroad industry of Minnesota and propelled him into roles of leadership and responsibility.

His marriage to Mary Hill in 1888 marked a pivotal moment, bringing him into the orbit of James J. Hill’s family—a lineage deeply rooted in industrial philanthropy. Together, they cultivated a home steeped in intellectual pursuits and civic engagement, shaping their children's values with unwavering conviction.

Hill’s fascination with transportation extended beyond legal representation; he actively championed the cause of good roads—believing fervently that improved infrastructure would elevate the lives of ordinary citizens. Recognizing the transformative potential of paved highways, Hill spearheaded the formation of the Washington State Good Roads Association in 1899, galvanizing public opinion and advocating for legislative action.

His involvement with the Great Northern Railway solidified his reputation as a visionary entrepreneur and innovator. He skillfully navigated the complexities of railroad finance, transforming it into a cornerstone of Portland’s economic prosperity. Furthermore, Hill's astute understanding of urban planning—evident in his role as Seattle City Engineer—contributed to shaping the city's architectural identity.

However, Hill’s legacy transcends mere professional accomplishments; he was an ardent traveler and collector of knowledge, traversing continents with a singular purpose: to advance international cooperation and promote artistic appreciation. His expeditions to Europe and Japan showcased his intellectual breadth and cemented his position as a prominent figure within the global cultural sphere.

The centerpiece of Hill’s artistic legacy remains Stonehenge—a breathtaking replica of the ancient megalithic monument constructed on Maryhill Plateau between 1926 and 1931. Driven by an unwavering belief in the power of monumental art to inspire awe and contemplation, Hill oversaw every facet of the project, meticulously selecting materials and employing innovative construction techniques.

More than just a sculptural endeavor, Stonehenge embodies Hill’s broader vision for elevating the human spirit—a testament to his conviction that grand artistic undertakings could foster unity and illuminate the timeless beauty of natural landscapes. Samuel Hill's enduring influence continues to resonate in Oregon and beyond, securing his place as one of America’s most remarkable sculptors and civic champions.
