Time Flies Metaphor Image

Wonderfully vintage, public domain drawing depicting the metaphor of time flying. This time flies illustration shows a pair of wings on a draining hourglass. I bet it would look great in a Steampunk or mixed media piece. Of course, as a time flies metaphor image this is a really sharp one.

A Book of Emblems with Interpretations Thereof was written by Alfred Gatty (1809-1873) and published in 1872. This may be a stock or original image used by Bell and Daldy publishers of London.
