EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing an exhibit of F. Besson & Company's brass musical instruments from 1885. The image transports us back in time to the Victorian era, where the art of music-making was held in high regard. The meticulously arranged display cabinet is filled with an impressive collection of Besson's finest creations, each instrument gleaming with the rich patina of age. Besson & Company, a renowned manufacturer and maker of brass musical instruments, had established a reputation for excellence by the late 19th century. Their instruments were sought after by musicians and orchestras around the world for their superior craftsmanship and tonal quality. This promotional exhibit, likely displayed in a music shop or concert hall, aimed to entice potential customers with a tantalizing taste of the company's offerings. The instruments on display include a variety of cornets, trombones, tubas, and euphoniums, all crafted from the finest brass. The fontaine cornets, with their distinctive bell shapes, are particularly noteworthy, as they were considered a significant innovation in brass instrument design during this period. The intricate engravings and detailed embellishments on each instrument speak to the artisanal skill and dedication of the Besson craftsmen. As we marvel at the beauty and craftsmanship of these historical musical instruments, we are reminded of the rich musical heritage that has been passed down through generations. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring allure of music and the unwavering commitment of manufacturers like F. Besson & Company to creating instruments of unparalleled quality.
