A 19th century illustration of a British woman playing a Hurdy Gurdy. The string instrument dates back to Medieval times and is played by turning a crank, which in turn rubs a wheel coated with rosin against the strings. - Illustration du XIXe siècle représentant une femme britannique jouant de la vielle à roue. Cet instrument à cordes remonte à l'époque médiévale et se joue en tournant une manivelle qui, à son tour, frotte une roue enduite de colophane contre les cordes
