EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph from the 19th century showcases a saxophone player, part of the Musical Instruments series by Schumacher & Ettlinger. The image was originally used as a cigarette card for Duke brand cigarettes in 1888. In this scene, we see a female musician passionately playing her saxophone. Her skillful fingers dance across the keys while she blows into the instrument with great intensity. The chromolithograph beautifully captures every detail of her performance, from the intricate brass design of the saxophone to the expression on her face. The artwork transports us back to Victorian America, where music played an integral role in society and entertainment. It serves as a testament to both the cultural significance of music and its connection to smoking during that era. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this collectible print is not only visually stunning but also holds historical value. It offers us a glimpse into an era when cigarette cards were popular promotional items and highlights how art was utilized for commercial purposes. As we admire this exquisite piece, let us appreciate not only its artistic merits but also reflect on how it represents an important chapter in American history - one that intertwines music, advertising, and societal norms of that time period.
