EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the moment as street musician Hugh Massey, with a pensive expression, draws his bow across the strings of his violin. Dressed in the fashion of the late 17th century, Massey is seen in a quiet, secluded corner, away from the hustle and bustle of the busy street. The violin, with its intricately carved body and delicate strings, is the focus of his undivided attention. The scene is set against a backdrop of a dimly lit, narrow alleyway, with the faint sound of footsteps and distant chatter echoing in the background. The atmosphere is one of intimacy and connection, as Massey shares his love for music with those who pause to listen. The print, believed to have been created around 1680, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when the simple joy of music could be found in the most unexpected places. The image is a poignant reminder of the enduring power of music to bring people together and create moments of beauty and wonder.
