  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.

  This is backside of Namdaemun Gate (남대문), one of the Eight Gates of Seoul. As per Wikipedia: Officially known as the Sungnyemun, is one of the Eight Gates in the Fortress Wall of Seoul, South Korea, which surrounded the city in the Joseon dynasty. The gate is located in Jung-gu between Seoul Station and Seoul Plaza, with the historic 24-hour Namdaemun market next to the gate. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eight_Gates_of_Seoul en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namdaemun

  Was this photo taken in 1910, when the entire Korean Peninsula had become another colony of Japan?
