EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph, titled "Tuba, from the Musical Instruments series (N82) for Duke brand cigarettes, 1888" takes us back to the enchanting world of late 19th-century America. Created by Schumacher & Ettlinger, this artwork showcases a remarkable fusion of artistry and advertising. In this scene, we find ourselves immersed in the lively atmosphere of a brass band performance. A woman dressed in Victorian attire stands proudly with her tuba held firmly against her chest. Her bonnet adds an elegant touch to her ensemble while she confidently plays this magnificent instrument. The rich colors and intricate details bring life to every element within the composition. The lithograph captures not only the beauty of music but also highlights the cultural significance of smoking during that era. It serves as a collectible cigarette card for W. Duke Sons & Co. , adding another layer to its historical value. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print offers us a glimpse into both musical history and American society at large during that time period. It reminds us of how art can transcend its commercial origins and become an enduring piece of heritage. As we admire this stunning artwork today, it is impossible not to be transported back in time – imagining the melodies filling the air as people gathered around to enjoy both music and tobacco's allure.
