Monday Popular Concerts, London (1885)

Note the interesting cross-legged way of sitting, as well as the arrangement of the players. Piatti sits on a box for height only — he has no endpin.

By contrast, this illustration from the Illustrated London News, 2 March 1872:

The players are Wilhelmina Norman-Neruda (Lady Hallé), Louis Ries, Ludwig Straus and Alfredo Piatti.
