- Abstract
-
"Musicians are grouped round the almost spherical Lady Buckinghamshire, who sits at the piano in profile to the right, playing and singing. In back view and on the extreme right sits Colonel Greville, playing a fiddle; from his coat pocket hangs a paper: 'Pic Nic Concert - Imitations - Nightingale by Lord C. - Tom Tit Lord ME. - Jack daw Genl G. Screech Owl Lady B. - Poll Parrot...' On the left is Lord Mount Edgcumbe, very small, playing a 'cello, in profile. Behind him, full face, towers Lord Cholmondeley putting a flute below tightly closed lips. Seated on the pianist's left is Lady Salisbury, blowing a French horn. On the extreme right opposite Greville is a lady's arm holding out a trumpet. See BMSat 9916, &c, and, for the 'musical mania' of the period, BMSat 9938, &c."--British Museum online catalogue
