專家說明

Holiday describes in his autobiography (op.cit., pp. 372-3) how in 1894, Herr Alfred Schulz-Curtius asked him to design the programmes for a series of concerts given at the Queen's Hall. They included a frontispiece of the nine Muses for the outside and scenes from Wagner's operas for the inside. These drawings were also used to illustrate the programmes of the Wagner Centenary Concerts at the Albert Hall, 1913.
