An introduction to the skill of musick : in two books ..
An introduction to the skill of musick, a 1671 London music primer by John Playford, printed by W. Godbid for J. Playford, with Thomas Campion's Art of descant appended, aimed at learners of singing and composition. The four pictures are engraved and woodcut plates: a viol with bow and staff notation, a violin with notes, an emblem of a lute, dividers and music book inside an oval frame, and a gamut scale chart with columns of solmization syllables that a designer could borrow for typographic tables or emblematic cartouches.
