This is an inner view of Big Ben's dial, 1901. When this photograph was taken, Big Ben's clock - at 23 feet in diameter - was said to be the largest in the world.
Big Ben is actually the name of the large bell which chimes on the hour, named after Sir Benjamin Hall, the first Commissioner of Works when the Clock Tower was erected.
Location: The Benjamin Stone Photographic Collection. Box 101, print 48.
