EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a historic moment in London's entertainment scene. The poster advertises concerts by Picco, a blind Sardinian Minstrel, at the prestigious St James's Theatre. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. Picco, despite his visual impairment, was a remarkable performer who enchanted audiences with his musical talents. As a blind musician and singer, he defied societal expectations and proved that disability does not limit artistic expression. The poster itself is a work of art, showcasing vibrant colors and intricate details. It features an image of Picco holding his instrument while surrounded by musical notes and symbols. The text boldly announces the upcoming concerts at St James's Theatre, enticing music lovers to attend this extraordinary event. This piece of ephemera provides valuable insight into the thriving concert culture of Victorian London. It highlights both the talent of Picco as well as the advertising techniques used during that era. As we admire this lithograph today, we are reminded of the power of music to transcend barriers and touch our souls. It serves as a testament to human resilience and celebrates diversity in performance arts.
