Henry Edward Bedford : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Edward Bedford Henry Edward Bedford (1860–1932) was an American painter and sculptor who designed the four-faced clock on top of the information booth located in Grand Central Terminal in New York City. As a painter, Henry E. Bedford was best known for his studies of the Maine coast. The American Art Annual reported Bedford’s sudden demise on October 29, 1932 on the train ride from Maine to Brooklyn. The death notice stated that “… he was especially fond of reproducing the scenery of Maine, and his landscapes and marines won him much praise from critics…” Henry E. Bedford is listed in key art reference publications such as Who Was Who in American Art. He also can be found online on (Askart.com ) and Artprice.com. The Bedford family had a long history in the clock and watch industry. Alfred Bedford, Henry's father, was a "member of the original Tiffany and Company and the London representative of the Waltham Watch Company." Henry E. Bedford, along with his uncle, Edward T. Bedford, and his brother, Alfred C. Bedford, were executives of the Self Winding Clock Company. Henry E. Bedford reportedly retired from the company in the mid 1920s. His obituary in the American Art Annual stated that Henry Bedford designed "several other large clocks" in addition to the famous one in Grand Central Terminal. == References ==
