This black-and-white engraving depicts a traditional bagpipe with a leather bag, a single chanter, and three drones (two tenors and one bass), each fitted with tuning slides and capped with decorative ferrules. The illustration captures period-accurate construction details, including the blowpipe with mouthpiece, stock joints, and fringed bag edges, rendered in precise cross-hatching typical of 19th-century technical illustrations. Such drawings were commonly used in encyclopedias and musical instrument catalogs to document folk and military wind instruments.
