EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming and humorous turn-of-the-century illustration from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image, titled "Musical Terms Up-to-Date: Fortissimo - Very Loud," showcases a dapper gentleman, dressed in the height of fashion from the early 1900s. He proudly dons a pinstripe suit, shiny shoes with spats, and a felt top hat adorned with a ribbon and feather. In one hand, he holds a large, ornate cane, while the other hand cradles a cigar, puffing away with a sense of pride and swagger. The gentleman's elaborate outfit is accompanied by a playful visual representation of the musical term "fortissimo," which translates to "very loud." The term is depicted as a jovial, humorous character, complete with a bright and exaggerated costume, a top hat, and a large, puffed-out chest. The comic illustration adds an element of fun and whimsy to the serious world of music, making it a delightful addition to any musical-themed decor or study. This charming print, created by Percy Vernon Bradshaw in 1903, is a testament to the visual puns and humorous illustrations that were popular during the early 1900s. It is a wonderful reminder of the rich history of musical terminology and the unique way that it was once conveyed through art. Whether you're a music lover, a history buff, or simply appreciate the humor and artistry of the past, this print is sure to bring a smile to your face.
