Beautiful original chromolithograph by William Gibb for “Musical Instruments - Historic, Rare and Unique” by Alfred James Hipkins (1826-1903), published in Edinburgh, circa 1888 by Adam and Charles Black. Gibb's lithographs are considered the finest illustrations of musical instruments even today. This fine lithograph is from the rare first edition.
