EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "A. Fiot, Publisher of Music, Importer of Musical Merchandize" transports us back to the bustling streets of Philadelphia in 1850. The print showcases an advertisement for Augustus Fiot's music store, located at No. 196 Chestnut Street. The whimsical view depicted within the ornamental border immediately captures our attention. Cherubs joyfully play various instruments such as the cello, harp, trumpet, flute, guitar, and organ. Sheet music is scattered on the floor and propped up on a stand nearby. The intricate border surrounding this enchanting scene adds to its charm. It features vignettes of cherubs playing different instruments like the harp and trumpet amidst vinery and floral details. One vignette portrays a woman gracefully seated at a piano while a young boy captivates a small audience with his flute-playing skills during a recital. Augustus Fiot began his journey as a publisher of music in partnership with Leopold Meignan in 1835 before eventually branching out on his own until 1855 when he operated his music store independently. This remarkable lithograph not only serves as an advertisement for Fiot's establishment but also offers us a glimpse into the vibrant musical culture that thrived in Philadelphia during this era. It reminds us of the timeless beauty and universal appeal of music throughout history.
