1880s 1887 Bufford Corn Cornet Cornfield Dance Field Funny Trade Card Trumpet
23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
