I wonder if this is the person that Monty Python got their idea for the "Johan Gambolputty ... von Hauptkopf of Ulm" sketch in their "It's The Arts" episode. Just a thought. Chris 13:47, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid not - not enough Christian names! Seriously, though, this is Adolphe Jullien (1840-1932), who wrote a life of Berlioz. Louis looked like this. Also, he died in 1860, and the pic of Adolphe was painted in 1887. --GuillaumeTell (talk) 11:57, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have gleaned some information from the 1851 Great Exhibition... My notes as follows :--
Jullien and Co., 214 Regent Street, London.
Category 30, Exhibit No 63. This exhibitor was described as a proprietor.
The exhibit was described as :—
Ornamental printed music, in oil colours and from stone. The music engraved on pewter, transferred and printed from stone.
Jullien and Co was established c1840 as a music publisher and dealer. They sold musical instruments and sheet music. (£ clarinets were on off online)
