This vintage book contains a brief biography of Edward Howard. Edward Howard was a pioneering maker of watches and clocks in America. Along with Charles Rice, Edward founded the E. Howard & Co. company that became famous for manufacturing high-quality and often eccentric watches and clocks in the latter half of the nineteenth century. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in the history and development of watchmaking in America and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the history of clocks and watches.
