Description: | This flute was made in Germany in the late 18th century and has had a number of interesting owners. It was part of an instrument collection belonging to the German composer and band master Carli Zoeller, who brought it to London when he settled there in 1873. In 1890, the flute was exhibited in Chelsea as part of the Royal Military Exhibition. It was later acquired by Francis Galpin, perhaps the most famous instrument collector of the early 20th century. Galpin's collection was sold at auction in 1946, and the flute was bought by another famous collector, Adam Carse. Carse donated his entire collection to the Horniman Museum in 1947, and the flute has been on display there ever since. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | Leisure | Temporal: | 1775-1800 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
