EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph, titled "Pandean Pipes, from the Musical Instruments series (N82) for Duke brand cigarettes, 1888" transports us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century America. Created by Schumacher & Ettlinger, this stunning print showcases a woman immersed in the joyous act of playing the pan flute. The image exudes a sense of elegance and grace as we witness this talented musician captivate her audience with her melodic tunes. The rich colors used in this commercial color lithograph bring life to every detail - from the intricate design on her dress to the delicate features of her face. As we delve deeper into this artwork's historical significance, it becomes apparent that it was part of a collectible cigarette card series produced by W. Duke Sons & Co. , one of America's prominent tobacco companies at that time. These cards were highly sought after by smokers who eagerly collected them alongside their beloved cigarettes. Beyond its commercial origins, however, this print is an exquisite testament to both musical artistry and Victorian aesthetics. It serves as a reminder of how music has always been intertwined with society's cultural fabric throughout history. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this piece allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also offers insight into American popular culture during the late 19th century. With each note played on these pandean pipes depicted before us, we are transported back in time to experience a moment frozen forever
