              <text>This silver cigarette box brings together the engraved signatures of both Nellie Melba and Percy Grainger, making it a unique object within this exhibition. While the history of the memento is not known, it clearly has a musical context. All the signatures belong to musicians, including Pablo Casals (cellist), Louise Edvina Edwardes (soprano), Ada Sassoli (harpist), Frank St Leger (pianist and conductor), John Lemmoné (flautist), Leopold Godowsky (pianist) and John Philip Sousa (composer and conductor).</text>
