EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the enchanting world of bells, from the Musical Instruments series (N82) for Duke brand cigarettes in 1888. Created by renowned lithographers Schumacher & Ettlinger, this commercial color lithograph is a true testament to their artistic prowess. The image transports us back to 19th century America, where the Duke brand was synonymous with quality and sophistication. The rich colors and intricate details bring these musical instruments to life, capturing the essence of Victorian elegance. In this scene, we witness a female bell ringer passionately playing her instrument amidst a picturesque countryside backdrop. Her graceful movements and focused expression demonstrate her mastery of campanology - the art of bell ringing. As she skillfully manipulates each bell's clapper, melodious tones fill the air, creating an ethereal symphony that resonates with all who listen. The artist's attention to detail allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of these bells but also their significance within music history. This chromolithograph serves as both a collectible cigarette card and a celebration of American arts. It now finds its home at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City – an institution dedicated to preserving cultural heritage for generations to come. Through this print, we are reminded of how music has always been intertwined with our daily lives – even during moments as simple as enjoying a smoke or collecting cigarette cards.
