EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts two intriguing and historically significant musical instruments: a Bell Harp and a Hurdy Gurdy. The illustration is an exquisite creation from the pen of William Gibb, as featured in A.J. Hipkins' Musical Instruments, Historic, Rare and Unique, published in Edinburgh in 1888. Alfred James Hipkins (1826-1903), an English musicologist, was the mastermind behind this comprehensive work. Hipkins was renowned for his expertise in the history of the pianoforte and other musical instruments. His publication showcased a vast collection of rare and unique musical instruments, providing a glimpse into the rich history of music and its evolution through the ages. The Bell Harp, displayed on the left side of the image, is a captivating instrument characterized by its unique design. Instead of the traditional strings, it employs metal rods that are struck with small hammers, producing a melodic sound. The Bell Harp's elegant and ornate appearance, with its intricate carvings and delicate bells, adds to its allure. On the right side of the illustration lies the Hurdy Gurdy, an intriguing and somewhat enigmatic instrument. Also known as the "Organ Grinder," the Hurdy Gurdy produces sound by rotating a wheel, which in turn rubs against the strings, creating a distinctive drone. This medieval instrument, with its complex mechanical design and rich, haunting sound, has long been a source of fascination for musicians and music lovers alike. This stunning chromolithograph, with its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the ingenuity and artistry of these historical musical instruments.
