EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases two ancient Greek musical instruments: the Lyre and Cithara. The delicate lines and intricate details bring to life these enchanting pieces of history. The Lyre, with its graceful curves and strings, was a popular instrument in ancient Greece. It was often associated with Apollo, the god of music and poetry. Its melodic tones were said to soothe the soul and inspire creativity. Next to it stands the Cithara, a larger instrument resembling a harp or guitar. With its elongated body and numerous strings, it exudes an air of grandeur and power. This instrument was favored by professional musicians who entertained at festivals and gatherings. In this scene, we see a young girl holding both instruments with confidence and grace. Her presence adds a touch of innocence amidst the rich cultural heritage depicted in this print. This engraving is part of "Usi e Costumi di Tutti i Popoli dell Universo" an extensive collection that explores various aspects of different cultures throughout history. Created by an unknown artist in 1856, it offers us a glimpse into ancient Greece's musical traditions. As we admire this artwork today, let us appreciate how music has always been an integral part of human civilization – connecting people across time and space through its universal language.
