guitar

The unique Russian seven-string guitar was first played in the late 1700s and reached its peak popularity in the mid-19th century. The instrument's predecessor was the English guitar, which thrived in England, Scotland, and the United States, and also flourished in Bohemia, Germany, and Poland.

In Russia, the earliest musicians to adopt this instrument were the Czech guitarist-composers von Held, Sychra and Kamensky, but it was the Roma (Gypsies) who became the virtuosi of this guitar. Appealing both to guitarists and the general public, the instrument explores a spectrum of musical styles - nineteenth-century Romantic, modernist from the 1920s and 1930s, Russian Gypsy, Russian Jewish, and contemporary. Technically similar to the Western European examples, this music makes use of both the unique tuning of the Russian guitar (DGBdgbd') and the heritage of Russian folklore.

What makes the repertoire so attractive to the listener is this mingling of Western European genres, techniques, and textures with typical Russian melodies and harmonies.

The beautiful guitar below was made in Austria near the turn of the 19th Century. Even so, it is done in early 19th Century romantic style.

Chambre De Voyage (French for "field camera") is a generic reference for a common style of field view camera sold in France from the 1890s to the 1930s. It is also known as a "Continental-styled View Camera" or simply "Continental View."

Popular on the European continent, the majority of these cameras had the same basic features ranging from simple to elaborate.
