Music, A Pictorial Archive of Woodcuts and Engravings
Music, A Pictorial Archive of Woodcuts and Engravings Description
A comprehensive archive of black and white graphics on everything to do with music, selected from 19th century periodicals. Over 100 types of musical instruments are featured, from the earliest cithara and lyre to twelve-stringed guitars, kazoos, harmonicas and kettledrums. Instruments from different lands include: a Japanese dukimer, Indian Sarangi, Chinese drum, and pipes, whistles and horns from many tribal groups on various continents. Countless musicians, alone, in small bands or orchestras, play mandolins, saxophones, bassoons, tubas, xylophones, harpsichords, zithers, cymbals, flutes, fifes and many other instruments. A series of engraved portraits show classical composers, from the Mozart family in concert to Verdi conducting one of his operas. In addition some of the scenes have been silhouetted; many vignettes of notes, clefs and other symbols suggest further decorative use.
