EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph, titled "Tam Tam, from the Musical Instruments series (N82) for Duke brand cigarettes" was created in 1888 by Schumacher & Ettlinger. The artwork is a part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection and showcases a delightful scene from late 19th-century America. In this image, we are transported to a Victorian-era setting where music fills the air. A talented female drummer takes center stage as she skillfully plays the tam tam, an exotic percussion instrument. Her passion for music shines through her expressive face and graceful movements. The color lithograph beautifully captures every detail of this enchanting moment. The rich hues bring life to the composition, emphasizing the woman's elegant attire and intricate drum design. The vibrant colors also reflect the spirit of creativity and innovation that defined America during this period. Beyond its artistic appeal, this print holds historical significance as it was originally featured on cigarette cards produced by W. Duke Sons & Co. , one of America's leading tobacco companies at that time. These collectible cards were often included in cigarette packs as promotional items or trading cards. As we admire this stunning piece, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also recognize how art can transcend time and provide glimpses into different aspects of our cultural heritage – be it music, fashion, or even advertising trends from over a century ago.
