EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Historical Musical Exhibition" by William H. Bradley, transports us back to the early 1900s in America. The image showcases two men, one a waiter in a brown coat and vest, the other a pianist in a formal suit, standing before a grand piano at an exhibition. The vintage setting is further accentuated by the ornate, Art Nouveau-inspired lettering and decorative elements that adorn the poster. The use of color and Western script adds to the English text's allure. The Historical Musical Exhibition was likely a public presentation of musical instruments and their history. The pianist, with his serious expression and posture, suggests a sense of pride and professionalism in his occupation. The waiter, with a casual, relaxed demeanor, adds a touch of everyday life to the scene. The piano, a symbol of refinement and culture, is the focal point of the image, drawing the viewer's attention and evoking a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. This lithograph, part of the Picture Collection of the New York Public Library's Milton S. Brown and Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Center for the Humanities and Social Sciences, is a testament to the rich musical heritage of the United States in the early 20th century. The intricate details and attention to historical accuracy make this a valuable addition to any collection of American art and cultural history.
