Légende

The Cardiff Athenaeum Eisteddfod, 1850. Welsh cultural event: 'The Hall was decorated for the occasion with the flags from ships in the port...and an abundance of evergreens, chiefly laurel, were disposed in the room...On the central lamp-stem was placed a bunch of leeks, emblematical of the Principality, tastefully arranged. In front of the chairman and other judges of the performance was a large table covered with mechanical objects - such as clocks, under glass shades; a model of a coal-shipping stage; a transit instrument, &c. The prize harp occupied the right end of the table'. Harpists competed for the '...Cardiff Town Prize, a handsome harp, offered by the inhabitants of Cardiff. It was made by Mr. Bassett Jones, harp-maker to her Majesty and the Prince of Wales; and is said to be an excellent specimen of skill'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
