This woodcut print from 1840 captures a musician playing a psaltery, an ancient stringed instrument that dates back to biblical times. The intricate details of the woodcut technique bring to life the delicate strings and graceful curves of the instrument, as well as the focused expression on the musician's face.
The psaltery itself is a fascinating instrument with a rich history, often associated with religious and ceremonial music. Its ethereal sound has been used in various cultures for centuries, adding a mystical quality to any musical performance.
In this image, we see the skillful hands of the musician plucking at the strings of the psaltery, creating beautiful melodies that surely captivate all who listen.

Overall, this print is not just a visual representation of playing a psaltery but also a testament to human creativity and ingenuity when it comes to expressing ourselves through music.
