Cover of a Pianoforte by Edward Burne-Jones
Cover of a Pianoforte by Edward Burne-Jones (1833-1898), engraved by Octave Lacour (1855-1921). In 1879 the painter Edward Burne-Jones was asked by a friend, William Graham, to design a piano which he could give as a wedding present to his daughter Frances. Burne-Jones commissioned Broadwood to build a grand piano with a traditional harpsichord-like shape, supported by a trestle stand, that would be in keeping with the Arts and Crafts movement he was establishing with the craftsman and poet William Morris. Burne-Jones himself painted the lid, which shows mother earth. Date: 1884
