EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and whimsical trade card from 1887 captures the essence of American humor and creativity during that era. Titled "A Corn-et Dance" the illustration showcases a comical scene set in a cornfield. The artist, J. H. Bufford, skillfully brings to life a group of men engaged in an amusing dance accompanied by their trusty cornets. The image is filled with delightful details that add to its charm. Each man is depicted with exaggerated features and animated expressions, perfectly conveying their enthusiasm for both music and dance. The cornfield backdrop adds a touch of rustic beauty to the scene while also highlighting the connection between nature and artistry. Published as part of a series by J. H. Bufford, this trade card served as an advertising tool for businesses at the time but has since become a treasured piece of art history. Its playful nature undoubtedly caught the attention of potential customers who would have been drawn to its lightheartedness. Today, this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal. It serves as a reminder of an era when even everyday objects like trade cards were transformed into works of art. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, this charming illustration offers not only visual delight but also insight into the cultural landscape of late 19th-century America
