EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A Species of Citole, IXth Century, St Blasius" takes us back in time to the 9th century. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a unique musical instrument known as a citole. The intricate details of the engraving allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship and design of this ancient stringed instrument. The citole features a rounded body with delicate curves and elegant engravings that add to its aesthetic appeal. Its strings are tautly stretched across the soundboard, ready to produce enchanting melodies. This illustration was originally intended for A Descriptive Catalogue of Musical Instruments in the South Kensington Museum (2nd edn, 1874), highlighting its historical significance. It provides valuable insight into the musical instruments used during that era and serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history. As we gaze at this print from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we can't help but imagine how this citole would have sounded when played centuries ago. It reminds us of our rich cultural heritage and encourages us to explore different forms of artistic expression. Whether you're an art enthusiast or a music lover, this image transports you back in time while celebrating both history and creativity.
