This stunning chromolithograph depicts a Viola da Amore, also known as the Love Viol, an exquisite and enigmatic musical instrument from the Baroque era. The image is an illustration by William Gibb, taken from A.J. Hipkins' Musical Instruments, Historic, Rare and Unique, published by Adam and Charles Black in Edinburgh in 1888.

The Viola da Amore, featured in this print, is a bowed string instrument with a distinctive elongated body and a rich, mellow sound. Its origins can be traced back to the 15th century, and it gained popularity during the Baroque period for its ability to produce a wide range of tonal colors. The instrument's unique design includes two sets of strings, one set played with a bow and the other set plucked with the fingers, allowing for a diverse range of musical expression. This chromolithograph captures the intricate details of the Viola da Amore's design, from the delicate carvings on its body to the intricate rosette at its neck.
