| Figure 14 Tall clock case attributed to Major John Dunlap, Bedford, New Hampshire; movement by Jonathan Mulliken II (1746–1782), Newburyport, Massachusetts, 1780–1792. Cherry and whitewood stringing with white pine. H. 88 1/2", W. 22 1/2", D. 11 1/4". (Courtesy, Mead Art Gallery, Amherst College.) The deaths of Jonathan Mulliken in 1782 and of John Dunlap ten years later help to determine the date of the clock’s manufacture. The clock descended in Dunlap’s family until the 1930s and is probably the “House Clock 14 £” listed in his probate inventory. |
