EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph print showcases the Guidonian hand, an ancient tool used to aid in the learning of sight-singing. Created by the English School in the 20th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The illustration originally appeared in The Oxford Companion to Music published by Oxford University Press in 1938. The Guidonian hand depicted here was widely utilized during medieval times and serves as a testament to the rich history of music education. Its intricate design features various symbols and markings on each finger, representing different musical notes and intervals. By using this visual aid, aspiring singers could easily identify and remember these musical elements while honing their skills. The lithograph beautifully captures the essence of this educational tool with its detailed lines and shading. It transports us back to a time when music theory was taught through practical means, emphasizing both auditory and visual learning techniques. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of Italy's significant contribution to music throughout history. This illustration symbolizes not only Italian ingenuity but also represents European musical heritage as a whole. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this historical gem for our enjoyment today. Its presence evokes nostalgia for simpler times when singing was learned through tactile methods rather than digital technology.
