Lot of approx. 30 photographs, including the following highlights: CDV of a rakish troubadour posed with a guitar, credited on mount to W.E. Debenham, Camden, London. 10 real photo postcards of male musicians pictured with trumpets, saxophones, tubas, and more. Images of note include portraits of a small boy playing a tuba outside; a man in a suit playing the slide-trumpet, the precursor to the modern-day trombone, stamped for Royal Studio, Fresno, CA; a trumpet player from St. Thomas, PA, 1912; and a bespectacled saxophonist from the Mt. Park Swiss Orchestra, 1924. 9 real photo postcards, many of which feature drummers, including an older man vigorously playing a drum in an outdoor space, as well as young man in a polka dot bow tie, seemingly very focused on his performance, captioned, "My first snare drum / 1912." Photographs of more unusual instruments are also offered here, including a set of glasses played by a tuxedo-clad man with a center part and a 30 ft. horn carried by five men in Decatur, IL. Credited to H. Kadgihn, Decatur IL and with text on mount reading in part, "This horn was manufactured at Decatur, Illinois by the Globe Cornice Works, and is 30 feet long, 6 feet in diameter at the bell, and requires 11 men to blow it. It left Decatur November 16, 1896, and is to be carried to Canton, Ohio by five men. . . [who] are to receive $1,000 if they are successful." 10 small-scale photographs, ranging in size from 2.25 x 2.625 in. to 2.5 x 4.625 in., of single male figures playing guitars and other stringed instruments. Images of note include a man squatting outside, posed with a ukulele, glass bottle, and doll on his knee; a young boy strumming a ukulele, dated on verso "10-20-29".
