I’m happy to note that two of my photographs are representing our little town of Maynard.
The color photograph was selected for the Massachusetts Muncipal Association 2009 calendar (it’ll be the photograph for March 2009), and a print of the sepia-toned one is hanging in the Middlesex South Registry of Deeds in Cambridge (part of a series of photographs showing historical features of cities and town in South Middlesex County).
Both are photos the Town Clock, which is the signature image for the town (it appears on our Town Seal, etc.) It was erected in 1892 in memory of Amory Maynard, for whom the town is named, by his son Lorenzo. The clockworks are reportedly the last hand-wound town clock mechanism in the United States.
