Description: | This blueprint, drawn at Hawkes and Son at their offices in Ashbrook Road around 1923 shows the overall layout of an orchestral horn. Instrument factories like Boosey & Hawkes maintained large drawing departments that produced detailed technical drawings for all of the instruments made by the firm. Drawings depicted every component of the instrument, such as valves, mouthpieces and keys, in minute detail. Draughtsmen would sometimes make drawings of instruments by rival makers that were brought to the factory for repair. The Boosey & Hawkes Archive at the Horniman Museum holds approximately 2,000 technical drawings from the late 19th and 20th centuries. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | work Art and Design | Temporal: | circa 1923 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
