Westminster Chimes 5«x 7«print from an original pen and pencil drawing by London artist Bernie Wighton. The print is framed in a cardboard mount.
Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London and often extended to refer to the clock and the clock tower. The tower is officially known as Elizabeth Tower, renamed to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Elizabeth II in 2012; previously it was known simply as the Clock Tower. When completed in 1859, it was, says clock maker Ian Westworth, “the prince of timekeepers: the biggest, most accurate four-faced striking and chiming clock in the world. ” The tower had its 150th anniversary on 31 May 2009, during which celebratory events took place.
