ARISTIDE CAVAILLE-COLL - Lot 236
ARISTIDE CAVAILLE-COLL Organ, with a plaque bearing the organ builder’s name, 1930s. Photograph, vintage silver print, unmarked on the back. 12.7 x 17.8 cm. Note: This photograph, taken in the 1930s, depicts an organ bearing a plaque with the name of Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, considered the most famous organ builder of the 19th century. A true revolutionary in his art, Cavaillé-Coll profoundly transformed organ building by developing instruments with unprecedented sonic possibilities, capable of rivaling a symphony orchestra. His creations were installed in numerous prestigious churches and concert halls in France and abroad, including Saint-Sulpice, Notre-Dame de Paris, and Saint-Ouen in Rouen. This photograph bears witness to the enduring admiration for his work several decades after his death. A vintage print, it serves as a fascinating document dedicated to musical heritage and the history of instrument making—a field in which Aristide Cavaillé-Coll remains an indispensable authority.
