A Puritan Family. Father teaching his family to sing Psalms rather than 'vayne and tryflying ballades'. From the position of his hands it seems he is using a mnemonic device such as the Guidonian hand to signal which note to sing. From frontispiece of 'Tenor of the whole Psalmes in Four Parts' London 1563. Woodcut .
