Does anybody know when/why the clock was replaced/updated? This photo shows the older, very ornate clock with roman numerals on a plain wall. Current photos show a clock face with arabic numerals in a subdued color scheme flanked by two windows.

My google skills are failing me on this one. What deep, dark secret are the city fathers (Stadtväteren?) of Basel trying to hide?
Jon (LOC P&P) said:
Thanks Luc Brocard and Richard Norton. We'll update the catalog record.

Seuss., in my quick searches I couldn't find a date the clock was replaced. I did find this photo on the Portal to Texas History, from the University of North Texas, probably taken around WWII, texashistory.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metapth613020/m1/1/. We actually have a travel poster from 1939 which is an illustration, not a photo, but shows the old clock, www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2009633623/.

The clock visible in the photo was installed in 1838. During a renovation in 1933, the original condition was largely restored.
