EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving, created by Fumagalli for Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1847, showcases a group of ancient Greek musicians engaged in the art of music-making. The musicians are depicted in various poses as they play a selection of ancient Greek musical instruments. In the center, a woman gracefully holds a kithara or ancient Greek zither, her fingers poised above the strings in a position ready to pluck. The kithara, a popular instrument in ancient Greece, was a type of lyre with a large, flat soundbox and a long neck. It was often used to accompany poetry recitals and was considered a symbol of the Muses. To her left, a man plays a lyre, one of the most iconic instruments of ancient Greece. The lyre, depicted here in its typical Aeolian form, was a stringed instrument with a soundbox in the shape of a tortoise shell and a yoke holding the strings. The musician plucks the strings with a plectrum, creating a melodic sound that resonated through ancient Greek culture. To the right of the woman, another man plays a tibia or aulos, an ancient Greek wind instrument. The aulos was a double reed instrument, played by blowing into one end while covering and uncovering the other end to produce different notes. It was often used to accompany dance and was an essential component of ancient Greek music and theater. The other musicians in the scene play various types of lyres, including the Barbiton, Lyrophorikon, and the Hydophonion. Each instrument is intricately detailed, showcasing the artistry and craftsmanship of the engraving. This beautiful illustration offers a glimpse into the rich musical heritage of ancient Greece and the importance of music in their culture.
