EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting image, captured by the Illustrated London News in 1889, showcases a Victorian lady in elegant attire, deeply engrossed in playing Chopin's iconic composition, "Moonlight Sonata," on a grand piano from John Brinsmead & Sons. Surrounded by a group of smartly-dressed gentlemen, all donning white ties, they lean in intently, their expressions reflecting awe and admiration. The scene exudes an air of sophistication and entertainment, as the melodic strains of the pianoforte fill the room. The gentlemen's well-groomed mustaches and the lady's delicate, gloved hands add to the overall charm of this moment. The John Brinsmead & Sons piano, a symbol of luxury and status during the 1880s, stands proudly in the background, its polished surface reflecting the warm glow of the room's lighting. This photograph offers a glimpse into the social scenes of the Victorian era, where music played a significant role in bringing people together and creating cherished memories.
