Framed Print of Musical Instruments at the South Kensington Museum: Violin, given by Queen Elizabeth... 1870. Creator: Unknown
Musical Instruments at the South Kensington Museum: Violin, given by Queen Elizabeth to Leicester, 1870. A...boxwood violin, bearing the arms of Queen Elizabeth and the Earl of Leicester engraved in silver on its finger-board...It is described both by Hawkins and Burney...[as] having belonged to the Duke of Dorset, at the sale of whose furniture it was bought by Mr. Bremner, in the Strand. It is two feet long from the extremity of the tail-pin to the dragon's head, and carved with a woodman cutting at the fallen branches of an oak, and with another man beating down acorns for hogs to eat, besides much foliage and other ornamentation. From the thickness of the wood and from its encumbrance with these decorations, the tone of the violin is but dull and sluggish; and the neck, being too thick for the hand to grasp, has a hole for the player's thumb, by which the hand is so confined that the range of fiddling performance must be very limited. Upon the nut which fastens the tail-piece is the date 1578, with the initials J. P. which may be those of J. Pemberton, a maker of some celebrity at that time. Some antiquaries, however, think the carving is very much older, and that it formed part of another violin made long before'. From Illustrated London News, 1870.
