Grand, square and upright pianos.
This is a trade catalogue issued by the Emerson Piano Co. of Boston in 1889, presenting its grand, square and upright pianos to dealers and buyers. The engraved pictures show upright instruments in ornate cases, with carved legs, fretwork panels and one view of the action and strings. A designer might take the decorative cabinetry, carved supports and inlaid panel patterns of Victorian furniture.
