ART-JOURNAL ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE,
This engraving is from an improved ventilating Stove Grate, manufactured
by Mr Jeakes, of London: we introduce it chiefly on account of its excellent
ornamental character, but it possesses recommendations that entitle it to extensive
use; the principle of these is that, when heated, it emits no unhealthy effluvium.
A musical instrument called a Guitarpa occupies this column :
it is invented and constructed by Don Jose Gallegos, of
Malaga. The tone of this ingenious piece of mechanism com-
prises that of the harp, guitar, and violoncello; it has thirty-five
strings, twenty-six of which and twenty-one pegs act upon the harp,
We introduce here a Revolving Table, for the use of sculptors and modellers,
manufactured by Palmer & Co., Brighton, after a model by San Giovanni, the
SSfSl^ U k \° enable sculPtors to turn round with facility any object upon
which they may be at work. It is equally applicable for showing busts or statues.
producing in their full extent the diatonic and chromatic scales :
six strings belong to the part of the Spanish guitar, while the
violoncello part has three silver strings and eighteen pegs. The
pedestal by which it is supported is so constructed that the
instrument may be either elevated or depressed at pleasure.
