EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print showcases an intriguing assemblage of Chinese and Japanese musical instruments, as depicted in an illustration by William Gibb for A.J. Hipkins' Musical Instruments: Historic, Rare and Unique, published in Edinburgh in 1888. The image features a collection of Chinese instruments, including the Ti-tzu flute (笛子, dízǐ), So-na oboe (草笛, cǎobài), Yueh-chin lute (粵琴, yuèqín), and La-pa drum (腊盤, làpán). The juxtaposition of these traditional Chinese instruments with their Japanese counterparts, such as the Hiji-riki trumpet (緋利器, hijiri-ki), adds an intriguing layer of cultural exchange and cross-pollination. Alfred James Hipkins (1826-1903), an English musicologist, was a leading authority on the history of the pianoforte and various other musical instruments. His extensive knowledge and passion for musical antiquities are reflected in this remarkable publication, which offers a glimpse into the rich and diverse world of Asian musical traditions. The vibrant colors and meticulous detail in this chromolithograph print bring these historical instruments to life, providing a fascinating window into the past. This print serves as a testament to the enduring allure and importance of musical traditions from around the world, and the role that scholars like Alfred James Hipkins played in documenting and preserving their histories for future generations.
