La guitaromanie (1829) by Charles De Marescot (1790–1842): Unpacking the imagery and music of an iconic nineteenth-century guitar book

Abstract

La guitaromanie, or ‘guitar mania,’ is a small, beautifully constructed book of guitar music by Charles de Marescot (1790–1842) published in Paris around 1829.1 It is remarkable for the inclusion of six colour lithographs by an artist designated as Mantoux 2 featuring guitarists in a variety of musical contexts. . . .
