Chime of Thirteen Bells for Christ Church, Cambridge, Massachusetts

A wood engraving shows men gathered on a wooden frame beside a row of hanging bronze bells, with large spoked wheels and timber scaffolding around them. Top-hatted gentlemen stand at a railing above, while workers in shirtsleeves and aprons pose in the courtyard below. The caption across the lower edge names the bells and the Boston foundry.
