THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION: OBLIQUE GRAND PIANOFORTE BY COLLARD AND COLLARD, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

The International Exhibition: oblique grand pianoforte by Collard and Collard, 1862. 'This pianoforte...is one of the most beautiful instruments of the kind in the exhibition. It is an oblique grand pianoforte, so called from the fact of the strings running obliquely or diagonally from one corner of the instrument to the other, instead of vertically, as in the ordinary cottage piano; the object of so placing the strings being to obtain greater length of string and consequent power, without the inconvenience of increasing the height of the instrument. These instruments have more of the quality of tone and power of the grand pianoforte - hence the term "oblique grand," although this class of instrument is of the upright form. The case of the piano is of very choice satin- wood, richly carved and gilt, and designed in the Italian style. Tho frieze and the ornaments of the lower panels are delicately carved and gilt, and are perforated, and lined behind with blue silk. The gilding is nicely subdued in tone, and harmonises well with the brilliant amber of the satinwood; and the decoration of the instrument altogether has an exceedingly rich and chaste effect'.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION: PIANOFORTE BY MESSRS. ALLISON, OF WARDOUR-STREET, 1862. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.

The International Exhibition: pianoforte by Messrs. Allison, of Wardour-street, 1862. '...a very beautiful...tall cottage or semi-cabinet piano, elaborately carved in unpolished oak. The design - the style of which is partly Elizabethan, though of the time of Charles I. - is emblematical and illustrative of Music. The keyboard is supported by figures of angels kneeling, playing upon the harp. The sides...are panelled, and contain busts of the most celebrated musicians mentioned in Scripture...and medallion portraits of the great composers...The upper part of the front is supported on each side by figures of angels with harps, surmounting figures holding scrolls of music, containing the first notes of the "Gloria in Excelsis." The centre is divided into three panels by carved semi-detached pillars, supporting circular arches...The panels of the front are all richly carved. In the centre one is the figure of St. Cecilia playing upon a hand-organ; and in the side panels are angels...with the inscription, "Gloria in excelsis Deo, et in terra pax." In the spandrils of the two side compartments are carved in full relief the principal English birds of song...The cornice is perforated as much for lightness as to allow the escape of the sound'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. The International Exhibition: pianoforte by Messrs. Allison, of Wardour-street, 1862. Creator: Unknown. (KEYSTONE/HERITAGE IMAGES/THE PRINT COLLECTOR)

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION: CONCERT GRAND PIANOFORTE, BY KIRKMAN AND SON, IN THE INDIAN..., 1862. CREATOR: HARVEY ORRIN SMITH.

The International Exhibition: concert grand pianoforte, by Joseph Kirkman and Son, in the Indian Department, 1862. '...a 7-octave concert grand...The designs and working drawing of this instrument were sent from England...and the carving was executed at Madras, East Indies, by the native workmen...the whole work was executed in the most correct and perfect manner, without any error or mistake of any kind. The case of the instrument is of solid East Indian rosewood; the carving is all grounded out, not laid on, and, considering this, it is done with surprising truth and accuracy...the skill with which the ornament is adapted to the top of the instrument, so as almost to conceal its irregular shape, reflects great credit on the designer. The carving is executed with great spirit and freedom, and the work is altogether a most interesting specimen of Indian skilled labour, showing, as it does, how well the natives can work from a European design. We may mention that the top of this pianoforte, though over five feet wide, is made of one solid piece of rosewood without a joint. Even in India it is extremely rare to meet with rosewood of such large dimensions...Besides the beauty of the case, the instrument itself is a remarkably fine-toned one'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862. The International Exhibition: concert grand pianoforte, by Kirkman and Son, in the Indian..., 1862. Creator: Harvey Orrin Smith.

BAS-RELIEF, "THE SONG OF MIRIAM AND MOSES", BY MR. GATLEY, FOR A MAUSOLEUM NEAR EDINBURGH, 1858. DECORATION FOR A '...MAUSOLEUM INTENDED TO BE ERECTED TO THE MEMORY OF MR. WILLIAM HENRY MILLAR...[THE PANEL IS] TO BE OF CARRARA MARBLE...SIXTEEN FEET IN HEI

Bas-relief, "The Song of Miriam and Moses", by Mr. Gatley, for a mausoleum near Edinburgh, 1858. Decoration for a '...mausoleum intended to be erected to the memory of Mr. William Henry Millar...[The panel is] to be of Carrara marble...sixteen feet in height by eighteen in length...[and shows] a triumphal procession of sixteen figures, with camels and oxen bearing the spoils of the Egyptians. From the long captivity of the Israelites - nearly 400 years - it is fair to assume that they had in some degree adopted the costume of the country. In addition to this they were commanded to spoil the Egyptians. Miriam is therefore attired in the dress of an Egyptian priestess. She advances in a fine attitude, playing on a timbrel, and preceded by female figures bearing olive branches...Moses and Aaron, their arms raised triumphantly to heaven, follow Miriam and her maidens, and the procession is closed by camels, oxen, and their drivers...we recommend all lovers of art to pay a visit to Mr. Gatley's studio, to inspect the progress of this great and interesting undertaking'.
