Spectral Musical Machine Ads Draw Crowds at Strand
An antique notice promotes a raffled musical device at C. Clay's near the New Church in the Strand. A 2s 6d price buys part ownership and a chance to witness a purportedly superior instrument with mathematical wheels. The piece is pitched as unlocking divine beauty in music through judgment and experience, warning against pretenders who mislead audiences.
