Illustrated catalogue of grand, upright and square piano-fortes.
A trade catalogue issued in 1873 by the New York piano makers Decker Brothers, presenting their grand, upright and square piano-fortes to prospective buyers and dealers. The pictures are plain wood-engraved views of each instrument, showing the carved lyre-shaped pedestals, turned and cabriole legs, and fretted music desks, which a designer could use as Victorian ornament references.
