Description

John Orlando Parry's The Poster Man forms a vivid snapshot of the professional life of a musician in 1835. Depicting a bill sticker adding another advertising poster to an already busy wall, music is involved in almost all of the activities it depicts. This publication, prepared by researchers at the Royal Academy of Music, investigates some of its hidden messages.
