This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph titled "Coaching Horn, from the Musical Instruments series (N82) for Duke brand cigarettes, 1888" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century America. Created by Schumacher & Ettlinger, this commercial color lithograph was part of a collectible cigarette card series produced by W. Duke Sons & Co. In this scene, we witness a talented female musician passionately playing her coaching horn while standing beside a stagecoach. The rich colors and intricate details bring life to both the woman and her instrument as she fills the air with melodious notes. Her presence exudes confidence and skill, showcasing the significant role women played in music during that era. The image not only captures the beauty of music but also highlights transportation in this period. The stagecoach symbolizes road transport at its finest, representing an essential mode of travel during those times. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this chromolithograph serves as a testament to American heritage and artistic excellence. It reminds us of an era where smoking was prevalent and cigarette cards were cherished collectibles among enthusiasts. With its historical significance and visual allure, "Coaching Horn" invites viewers to appreciate both artistry and cultural context within one frame—a true treasure from America's past brought alive through Schumacher & Ettlinger's masterful craftsmanship.
