EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The mechanism and arrangement of the organ" takes us back in time to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the intricate inner workings of this magnificent musical instrument. Displayed against a dark background, the image showcases an array of metal and wooden components that make up the mechanism of the organ. From flutes to reeds, pipes to gerns, each element is meticulously arranged to produce harmonious melodies. The attention to detail is truly remarkable. The photograph highlights various key features such as electro-pneumatic draw stops and action boards, which play a crucial role in controlling sound production. The ordinary tracker organ design can also be observed, showcasing how these instruments were crafted during this era. It's fascinating to witness how knowledge was captured within encyclopedias like The Harmsworth Encyclopedia from around 1922 when this illustration was created. This print not only serves as a visual representation but also acts as a historical artifact that documents our understanding of music during that time. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from their private collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and educational significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of the craftsmanship involved in creating such complex mechanisms while marveling at how far technology has advanced since then.
