EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases Richardsons Original Musical Stones, an intriguing musical instrument created by the talented Joseph Richardson in the picturesque town of Keswick, Cumbria, during the late 1800s. A stonemason by trade and an accomplished amateur musician, Richardson was fascinated by the nearly-musical tones he heard in some of the rocks he worked with. Inspired by this discovery, he began to test the various rocks of the Lake District for their note, collecting those that produced a pure, resonant ring and forming them into a sequence. The result was a unique musical instrument, now known as lithophones, which consisted of a series of stones arranged in a specific order and struck with a hammer to produce musical notes. The stones, carefully selected for their distinct tones, were arranged in a semicircle, with the largest and lowest-pitched stone at the bottom and the smallest and highest-pitched stone at the top. Richardsons Original Musical Stones quickly gained popularity and attracted visitors from far and wide, who were captivated by the unusual instrument and the fascinating story behind it. Today, this historical treasure is on display at Keswick Museum and Art Gallery, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the ingenuity and creativity of Joseph Richardson. The photograph captures the essence of this unique musical instrument, with the Lake District landscape providing a beautiful backdrop to the stones and the hammer poised to strike, ready to produce the melodic tones that once captivated audiences over a century ago.
