EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing a beautiful clarinet from the Musical Instruments series for Duke brand cigarettes. Created in 1888 by Schumacher & Ettlinger, this exquisite print is a testament to the artistic craftsmanship of the late 19th century. The clarinet takes center stage, its sleek curves and intricate details expertly rendered in vivid colors. It stands as both an emblem of musicality and a symbol of sophistication during America's Victorian period. The female musician gracefully holds the instrument, her attire reflecting the fashion trends of that time - an elegant dress adorned with gloves. As she plays, her passion for music resonates through every note produced by this wind instrument. The chromolithograph transports us back to an era when smoking was not only socially acceptable but also associated with refinement and leisure. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this collectible cigarette card showcases not just a musical instrument but also represents a slice of American history. Its presence within their collection speaks volumes about its cultural significance and enduring appeal. Through this image, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and capture moments that would otherwise be lost to history. This print serves as a visual reminder that even everyday objects like cigarettes can become works of art when placed in skilled hands like those of Schumacher & Ettlinger.
