This engraving from the 19th century showcases the enchanting world of musical glasses. The image, part of a private collection, depicts an intricate arrangement of glassware that produces melodious sounds when played. Created by an unknown European School artist, this engraving was featured in Gaston Tissandier's Popular Scientific Recreations published in 1885. It offers a glimpse into the scientific and artistic endeavors of the time. The black and white illustration exudes a sense of nostalgia, transporting us back to an era where knowledge and curiosity intertwined with creativity.

As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the harmonious nature between science and music. This fusion is beautifully represented through these ethereal glasses that produce celestial melodies when touched by skilled hands.
