Sundial in Golden Gate Park

In 1907 The NSCDA-CA gave to the city of San Francisco a sundial which they had commissioned M. Earl Cumings, a prominent San Francisco sculptor, to design and execute. It commemorates the first three European navigators of the California coast: Fortuno Jiminez of Spain, 1534, Juan Cabrillo of Portugal, 1543, and Francis Drake of England, 1579. It was placed on the lawn not far from the entrance to the old de Young Museum. The dial is on the flat side of a half globe. On its face are the words HORAM SOLE NOLENTE NEGO (if the sun is unwilling I don't tell the time) and reliefs of the heads of the three explorers. On the round back of the globe in relief are the continents of North and South America. The sundial stands on the back of a large bronze turtle, which stands on top of a partially fluted marble column about four feet tall. The entire monument is about six feet tall.
