EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling streets of London, on Wigmore Street, W1, a world of musical elegance and sophistication unfolds in this advertisement for Blthner & Co. Ltd. Established in the heart of the city, Blthner & Co. Ltd. has been a leading name in piano manufacturing since the early 20th century. This advertisement, published in the February 7, 1921, volume 14 issue of a popular magazine, showcases the company's exquisite collection of pianos - upright, grand, and player pianofortes. The image portrays a young woman in a beautiful, flowing dress, gracefully seated at the piano, her fingers dancing over the keys as she pours her soul into the music. The admiring gaze of a man, casually leaning against the piano, speaks volumes about the enchanting performance. The piano, a Blthner, is the focal point of the scene, its polished surface reflecting the warm, inviting light of the room. The caption beneath the image reads, "What a Stradivarius is to the violinist, a Blthner is to the pianist."
