EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable musical instrument from the 9th century - the three-stringed crout. The engraving, originally featured in Paul LaCroix's renowned book "The Arts of the Middle Ages and at the Period of the Renaissance" published in London in 1870, beautifully captures this unique relic. The crout, also known as an organistrum or hurdy-gurdy, is depicted with intricate details that highlight its craftsmanship. Its crank handle suggests a mechanism for producing sound, making it an early precursor to modern stringed instruments. This particular image evokes a sense of awe and curiosity about how such an ancient instrument was played and what melodies it could produce. Beyond its musical significance, this engraving also reflects on religion and Christianity during medieval times. It serves as a reminder of how music played an integral role in religious ceremonies and worship practices. Preserved through time by The Print Collector collection, this monochrome print offers us a glimpse into history while celebrating both artistry and cultural heritage. As we admire this exquisite representation of the three-stringed crout, we are reminded of our connection to past generations who found solace and expression through music.
