At the centre of the composition, a melting clock — Dalí’s most personal and most universally recognised motif — drapes itself over a bifurcating amber tree trunk, its face bearing legible roman numerals, its body dissolving downward into an arch through which a tiny Alice-figure is visible, suspended in the luminous interior of the clock’s own time. Above, the tree’s canopy bursts into teal and blue-green foliage against the pale sky, populated by four precisely rendered butterflies — their hyperrealistic wings a deliberate contrast to the surrealist dissolution of the clock below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe composition brings together the two registers of Dalí’s visual intelligence at their most integrated: the entomological precision of the butterflies, observed with the care of a natural history illustrator, and the psychological distortion of the melting clock, operating by the logic of dream rather than observation. Carroll’s Mad Hatter’s obsession with time — clocks that run wrong, tea parties fixed at six o’clock forever — finds its perfect visual expression in an image where time itself has lost its rigidity and become as fluid and as malleable as amber. The plate signature appears lower centre in warm brown, flanked by teal ground cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003ePrinted by Princeton University Press on Mandeure paper and published by Maecenas Press \/ Random House, New York, 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e✔ Worldwide shipping from France\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e✔ Professional packaging with insurance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e✔ Tracking number included for secure delivery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-pre-wrap leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"S1PPyQ\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"collection salvador dali\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/collection-salvador-dali-surrealisme-visions-oniriques-et-estampes-iconiques\"\u003e➡️ V\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca title=\"collection salvador dali\" href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/collections\/collection-salvador-dali-surrealisme-visions-oniriques-et-estampes-iconiques\"\u003eiew all available works by Salvador Dalí\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1013\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\" title=\"Contact\"\u003e➡️ C\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/lynartstore.com\/pages\/contact-us\" title=\"Contact\"\u003eontact us for any inquiries\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this an original Dalí print?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — an original heliogravure in colours on Mandeure paper, signed “Dalí \/ 1968” in the plate, from the 1969 Maecenas Press \/ Random House edition of 2,500.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the edition size?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2,500 impressions — this example is number 1,650.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I acquire the complete portfolio?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — the complete set of 14 framed prints plus the first edition book is available separately.
