JACKSON Charles

LONDON - "3416 Jackson & Paine, Store-st. W.C.— Anti-blocking hopper pianofortes." International exhibition, 1862 : Official catalogue of the industrial department, 1862, p. 54

 

"Improvements in the action of pianofortes, JACKSON AND PAINE, (from Collard and Collard),
Pianoforte manufacturers, 13, STORE STREET, BEDFORD SQUARE, LONDON. Factory, Little Store Street.
OF Broadwood’s famous firm I did their works declare,
But now of Jackson and Paine, Store-street, Bedfordsquare;
’Tis here the higher Muses seem to hold their courts ;
“Improvements in the Action of Pianofortes,"
In order the escapement of the fly or hopper to obtain
(This do I mention in the artistic strain).
But stop ! an illuminated transparency
I take with me across the sounding sea;
There will I to astonish’d thousands show
How much to Science’s heroes we all owe.
Nought of its tone or action can be lost
Neath tropic sky or hyperborean frost;
In summer we are overhung by Sky of fire,
In winter Boreas throws hills of ice across the Vegan lyre.
Then say what work of Art from human hand
May atmospheric influences with stand,
And adverse elements of a tempestuous land ?
The pianofortes that now anoint the Nine
Are t’ principles of Science true, and chaste, too, in design ;
These are destined all our wants to meet,
And which the artistic Muse doth fondly greet;
And the rapt Bard will with energy prepare
To introduce from Storestreet, Bedford-square.
Thus do I raise for nobler Arts the strain,
And strike the loudest lyre for Messrs. Jackson and Paine." The New Or Eighth Londoniad, Etc, 1862, p. 28-29

LONDON - "Messrs. Jenkins and Sons shew an upright cottage, on the “patent expanding and collapsing” principle. The keyframe of this instrument turns down on a hinge, shutting into a recess formed for it below; so that, when not in use, the space of its projection may be saved. When thus shut up or “collapsed,” the depth of the instrument, from back to front, is only 13 ½ inches. It is intended principally for use on ship-board." Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences, 1851, p. 34

LONDON - "Jenkins and Son exhibit a piano with a moveable front, especially adapted for cabins of ships and yachts, where space is an object. We observe an instrument in the French department, in which the same thing is effected but in a much neater manner, the unsightly pieces ofiron at the side being dispensed with." Crystal Palace, and its contents : being an illustrated cyclopaedia of the great exhibition of the industry of all nations, 1851, p. 202 (archive.org)
