EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of music and artistry in olden times. The image showcases a woman gracefully playing the virginal, also known as the clavicymbal - an exquisite musical instrument that flourished during the 16th century. The accompanying text provides valuable insight into this enchanting mechanism. It describes how each delicate string is meticulously plucked to produce harmonious melodies that once resonated through grand halls and intimate chambers alike. This illustration from "The Romance of the Nation". Volume Two, edited by Charles Ray, offers a glimpse into Britain's rich cultural heritage. Transported to England of yesteryears, we witness this talented musician immersed in her craft. Her fingers dance effortlessly across the keys of this beautiful harpsichord-like instrument while she breathes life into its strings. The monochrome setting adds an air of nostalgia to this timeless scene. As we admire this historical gem captured by an unknown artist in 1934, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance as a testament to our enduring fascination with music throughout centuries past. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times and evolving technologies, our love for playing instruments remains steadfast – connecting generations through shared passion and creativity.
